This error is received when trying to convert a Linux machine on Hyper-V 2016 to VMWare 6.5 using direct option
The machine to be converted is off
Source image location = Hyper-V
Select the Virtual Hard Disk file
Destination image format = VMWare direct conversion to ESXi
Select folder in the datastore, if the folder already exists in the datastore it appears to work, if you select new folder, "create the new folder name" then select it, you receive the above error.
Obviously we can get around the error, however what is the point of having the option to create a new folder if it doesn't work
