Redhat VM -> Workstation Converstion with VCC, Workstation thinks it's an ESXi host

Pardon the ambiguous title, I wasn't quite sure how to phrase it.

 

I have a RHEL virtual machine that's running on an ESXi 4 cluster. I converted it to Workstation 8 format using the standalone converter. However, when I try to open the newly created VM in Workstation, I'm presented with this message:

 

"Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the outer virtual machine to be configured for running a VMware ESX guest operating system. You may not power on a virtual machine until the outer virtual machine is reconfigured."

 

This machine is not ESX, it's just a Redhat machine. It's configured correctly in Workstation (listed as Redhat), but I can't get past this error. I've tried re-converting it to a WKST 7 VM, but I get the same error. What am I missing? All of my searches have turned up people actually trying to run ESX under Workstation - I'm just trying to convert a Redhat VM.

 

Any insight would be great. Thanks!
