Vladan Seget has a nice <a href="http://www.vladan.fr/install-vmware-vcsa-6-0/">blog post</a> where he describes the installation.</p> <p>This installation process is annoying, it needs a separate client (Windows) machine to run the installer on, requires the Client Integration Plugin (which doesn't appear to run well on chrome now that support for npapi/dpapi has been removed):<a href="https://remkoweijnen.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image.webp"> <br /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" title="Wheb prompted, allow access to the Client Integration Plugin" style="margin: 4px 0px; display: inline" alt="Please install the Client Integration Plugin 6.0 provided in the vCenter Server Appliance ISO image (requires quitting the browser)" src="https://remkoweijnen.nl/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image_thumb.webp" width="417" height="37" /></a> <br />But even worse is that we cannot import VCSA 6.0 in vCloud Director. Even converting the OVF inside the iso file doesn't help because vCloud directory lacks support for Deployment Options. <br /></p>
