Once the MS Reader key is generated, the command you want to remove the DRM is as follows (from the command line)...

clit nameofdrminfectedebook.lit nameofdrmfreeebook.lit

Then you'll have a DRM free LIT which Calibre will happily convert to ePub, LRF, and/or Mobipocket.

What you are trying to do is extract the contents of the LIT file which is not always the best way to do it. All you need do is just strip out the DRM and convert. Besides, if you really do want to extract the contents of the LIT file, just strip the DRM and use lit2oeb which works better than ConvertLIT for extracting the contents.
