I ran into a problem with VMware converter. I got the following error :
unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code: 2147754774
The following steps worked for me :
Confirm that there are no errors with the following command :
vssadmin list writers
I found more then one provider with the following command :
vssadmin list providers
I deleted the second (everything but the first) provider (please back-up your keys first!) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Providers
I then did a restart of the VSS service (net stop vss , net start vss)
Followed by enabling shadow copies (and made a snapshot of the drive)
Now I was able to succesfully create VSS and import a running physical machine using VMware converter!
follow this steps , wworks just fine
cd /d %windir%system32
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 /s ole32.dll
regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 /S vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /s /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /s /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 /s es.dll
regsvr32 /s stdprov.dll
regsvr32 /s vssui.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml.dll
regsvr32 /s sxml3.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml4.dll
Net start vss
