Convert Hyper-V img to run in VMWare Workstation

hyper-vvmware-convertervmware-workstation

I would like to download one of the hyper-v images offered by Microsoft and run it in VMWare Workstation 7.x. Is this possible? If so, can you recommend a converter (preferably a free one) that can convert from hyper-v VHD to VMWare's VMDK format? I have tried VMWare converter but it does not seem to work.

Thanks.

VMWare will directly read and write to VHDs without the need for any conversion. You might want to disable/uninstall its "helper" applications (if installed) and possibly install the corresponding VMWare helper.
