Disk2vhd fails with usage message

I'm attempting to create a Windows 10 image for VirtualBox using Disk2vhd, but am running into problems. When I run it from the command line (using cmd): 

disk2vhd64 c: f:\winimg.vhd

it inevitably responds with the attached pop-up window, which tells me I'm using it incorrectly. When I run it through Windows Explorer, it doesn't start. I just get a wait cursor for a few seconds.

Any ideas on why it's failing? I am running it in my Downloads folder. Do I need to run it from some specific location?178245-usage.png

    Hi,
    I had same problem!
    Solved simply running just the command disk2vhd64 with NO OPTIONS, and a GUI opens!

    I hope it helps

    Is it perhaps already possible to enable VSS via cmd?
