esxi to hyper-v - application just closes

[meatymcsorley]

yesterday i moved a VM using the hot migration and realised after i hadn't uninststalled vmware tools and it wouldn't boot. it was a tiny VM so i just deleted it and started over. starwind would abruptly close in the middle of converting, i tried several times and saw the same thing happen. Since it was a small vm i just downloaded the vmdk from esx and converted it, no problem.

i loved the idea of a hot migration however so i picked another VM that was 6x the size of the first one, uninstalled VMware tools, and let it rip and went to bed. woke up this morning and it was migrated and converted and sitting in hyper-v and booted perfectly. grabbed another small VM and started a third migration and now i'm seeing the same issue as the first where the application just closes - no error message, etc. logs below:
