I'm attempting to use VMware Standalone Converter version 6.11 (current version, installed very recently) to create a backup of an existing VMed Windows machine on a remote VMware hypervisor. However as soon as I give VMware Converter the source machine IP and login, it throws this error:
A general system error occurred: Not supported version: Unsupported version URI "urn:converter/7.0" while parsing SOAP body at line 6, column 0 while parsing SOAP envelope at line 2, column 0 while parsing HTTP request before method was determined at line 1, column 0.
Googling has left me none the wiser about what could be causing this, it appears to be a version mismatch of some kind but as I'm running an up to date version of Converter I'm not sure what is objecting to what?
Not sure if relevant, but if I attempt to connect to the hypervisor running the VM in question from the same Windows 10 laptop the Vsphere client installer it wants to download throws an error about "This can only be installed on Win XP SP2 or above" (it's V5). I'm wondering if there are support files that are needed from Vsphere before Converter will connect? And if so is there any way to persuade it that yes, Windows 10 is a version above XP SP2? Just a guess though.
Edit: I tried installing Vsphere from the hypervisor, and Converter, on a Windows 2003 machine on the same network. Vsphere accepted that as being "XP SP2 or above" and installed correctly and connects to the hypervisor quite happily. However Converter throws exactly the same error when given the login credentials of the VM I want to copy.
Is it possible that an older version of the converter or its agent is installed inside the VM? If yes, uninstall it. The VMware Converter installs its own agent automatically if you connect to the machine with administrator credentials.
But if you prefer converter approach I would strongly recommend you using a 3rd party V2V converter by StarWind instead of VMwares. It's free and helped me a lot of times working with all the most commonly used VM formats: VMDK, VHD/VHDX, StarWind native IMG, QCOW. It works both ways, converting from and to any selected format, thus having better functionality than similar converters.
Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, have removed all previous versions and despite getting in touch with their labourious online chat system their standard reply is 'update to the latest Mac OS'...something I can't do currently - and knowing they do exist would rather not shell out for a whole new machine just to overcome this very simple problem...(Feels very much like pulling LR6 support 'update your computer' seems a standard reply, which is utterly ridiculous).
thanks, yes I did find this via a quick google and there are a few there. although I can't find any mention of compatibility or changelogs that go with any versions listed anywhere (if they are listed!)
How do you connect to that? I'm trying to find the previous dng converter version and came upon this link, but that ftp is user/pass locked. Is there somewhere to get previous versions of dng converter? I'm not talking years old...like a few versions back. Thanks
ImageMagick is widely used in industries such as web development, graphic design, and video editing, as well as in scientific research, medical imaging, and astronomy. Its versatile and customizable nature, along with its robust image processing capabilities, make it a popular choice for a wide range of image-related tasks.
ImageMagick includes a command-line interface for executing complex image processing tasks, as well as APIs for integrating its features into software applications. It is written in C and can be used on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.
The main website for ImageMagick can be found at The most recent version available is ImageMagick 7.1.1-35. The source code for this software can be accessed through a repository. In addition, we maintain a legacy version of ImageMagick, version 6.
Creating a security policy that fits your specific local environment before making use of ImageMagick is highly advised. You can find guidance on setting up this policy. Also, it's important to verify your policy using the validation tool.
One of the key features of ImageMagick is its support for scripting and automation. This allows users to create complex image manipulation pipelines that can be run automatically, without the need for manual intervention. This can be especially useful for tasks that require the processing of large numbers of images, or for tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis.
In addition to its core image manipulation capabilities, ImageMagick also includes a number of other features, such as support for animation, color management, and image rendering. These features make it a versatile tool for a wide range of image-related tasks, including graphic design, scientific visualization, and digital art.
Overall, ImageMagick is a powerful and versatile software suite for displaying, converting, and editing image files. Its support for scripting and automation, along with its other features, make it a valuable tool for a wide range of image-related tasks.
Examples of ImageMagick Usage demonstrates how to use the software from the command line to achieve various effects. There are also several scripts available on the website called Fred's ImageMagick Scripts, which can be used to apply geometric transforms, blur and sharpen images, remove noise, and perform other operations. Additionally, there is a tool called Magick.NET that allows users to access the functionality of ImageMagick without having to install the software on their own systems. Finally, the website also includes a Cookbook with tips and examples for using ImageMagick on Windows systems.

When you're using a version of Word that's newer than the version used to create your document, you typically see Compatibility Mode in the title bar. Compatibility Mode temporarily disables new or enhanced Word features so that the document can still be edited by people using the earlier version of Word. Compatibility Mode also preserves the layout of the document.
Converting the document to the newer format lets you use newer features, but conversion might create difficulties for people who are using earlier versions of Word to edit the document. If you convert the document, they might not be able to work with certain portions of the document that were created in the newer versions of Word.
You can either work in Compatibility Mode or you can convert your document to the Word 2016 file format. The Word Convert command clears the compatibility options so that the document layout appears as it would if it had been created in Word 2016 .
To create a new copy of the document in Word 2016 mode, select Save As, and then choose the location and the folder where you want to save the new copy. Type a new name for the document in the File name box, and then select Word Document in the Save as type list. Make sure the box next to Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word is cleared.
Looking up the ghostscript options instead of blindly copying commands from others who also blindly copied their commands (and so on) is time well spent. For instance, the -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen in the most upvoted answer (and many others) will degrade your pdf's quality.
-dPDFSETTINGS=configuration Presets the "distiller parameters" [...] Using any of these presets will involve altering the input, and as such may result in a PDF of poorer quality (compared to the input) than simply using the defaults. The 'best' quality (where best means closest to the original input) is obtained by not setting this parameter at all (or by using /default).
Watch out: Ghostscript won't inform you about non-existent / non-supported versions, even without -q. For instance, if you specify -dCompatibilityLevel=1.9 (there is no pdf 1.9) you get a pdf 2.0 but ghostscript won't tell you. I couldn't find a full list of versions supported by -dCompatibilityLevel=. 1.0 seemed to be unsupported. 1.1 - 1.7 worked. 2.0 worked too, but created pdfs which did not conform to the standard (although they displayed just fine in evince).
You can check the written version using grep -oa '%PDF-...' out.pdf.
Also, I found that PDF/A can only be created by using -dPDFA. Sadly, all these options don't seem to be that well documented or documented at all.

Notebooks on OneDrive use the latest OneNote file format. Users without newer versions of OneNote can use the free web version or download a free version of OneNote from OneNote to access the notebook.
I would do the conversion in onenote 2016 (see link above). This is the latest stable windows application version of one note and it is a lot better that the windows store version and it plays nicer with the 365 environment so it should make your migration easier.
The Project Converter allows you to update your .NET projects after you installed a new version of DevExpress components. You can run the Project Converter as a dialog window or as a console application.
The error appears because the problematic file contains non-ASCII symbols and does not contain information about their encoding. Project Convertor cannot convert the file because there is no way to determine the encoding used to write a file and it is impossible to parse such files correctly. In this situation, the conversion can lead to corruption.
