this is the error message

Hi @Kato,

Can you post a screenshot of how you have the tool setup?

Do you receive the same error when converting to a feature class?

Reviewing the source code of the tool the error line is to do with updating the progress bar, a fairly innocuous
bit of the tool. It also has no error capturing (which is a bit slack of ESRI for a system tool) so that hints towards an issue with the data itself. You give no indication in your question the size of the table you are converting and what its source format is? Are you pre-selecting rows to avoid null values, have you even quality controlled your input data?
