I have Windows 7 and Windows 10 workstations as part of an AD domain.
I install the VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.exe from the VCSA ISO just fine (making sure that hosts.bak was not present before the installer.
The Client Integration Plugin inserts the following two lines into the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 vmware-localhost
::1 vmware-localhost
I go to install the VCSA using any browser (Chrome, IE and Firefox all have the exact same problem) and I see this window first (This used to be an "External Protocol; Request"😞
Then I specify host, SSO domain, etc., and the installer fails on step 6 with "Error in fetching profile data"
I can install the VCSA from workstations which are not joined to the domain, and workstations which are joined to other domains.
Any ideas?

Got it! It was the Horizon View Agent 7.0.0.3634043 that was "blocking" VCSA Installation at step 6!
When I removed the Horizon View Agent, and RDP'ed onto the workstation from another machine, the VCSA Installer worked as expected.
This makes perfect sense too, as the Horizon View agent is the one thing that was upgraded across all Windows 7 and Windows 10 Workstations since the last install of the vCenter Server Appliance
