I should have searched the documenation more throroughly: For all Windows reference machines: a. Download and extract setup\GugentZip.zip from the vCAC installation package into C:\ on the reference machine. This will produce the folder c:\VRMGuestAgent. Note: Do not change the name of the c:\VRMGuestAgent folder. b. In an elevated command prompt, run one of the following commands: (HTTP) winservice -i -h vcac_fqdn[:portnumber] (HTTPS) winservice -i -h vcac_fqdn[:portnumber -p ssl] Where vcac_fqdn is the fully qualified domain name of the vCAC server host, and the optional portnumber is the port number for the ProxyAgentService endpoint on that host. If you don’t specify a port number, vCAC assigns the default port number 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) for the ProxyAgentService endpoint. The name of the Windows service is VCACGuestAgentService. The installation log VCACGuestAgentService.log can be found in c:\VRMGuestAgent.
