At the very least the tool should return a more informative error message if it is standard that ArcGIS cannot do this transformation.

I believe I have the same issue as #8 with another projection. NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Maryland_FIPS_1900_Feet

Update: I transformed the data by switching the data frame in ArcMap to EPSG 4326 and then exported layer as shapefile. Ran tool that shapefile (and unchecked convert to WGS84), and that worked. Here is the live commit.

Sweet. If it isn't possible for the tool to do the conversion it should at least give a better error message so that the user knows what to resolve. I have to work on that.

Thanks for using and I hope it helped!
