Another point: even after installation failed, VMware vCenter configuration service is up and running.this only 1 vmwre service visible in. dont know why did the cleanup not happened for this??
Were you able to resolve this? I'm running into the same problem. I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
Hi I'm having the same issue as well on a fresh install. Can't put my finger on it either.

So believe it or not, two minutes after posting my issue, I got it working :smileygrin:
I did a couple of things that hopefully got it working.
1. just randomly went and ran X:\vCenter-Server\Packages\VCSServiceManager.msi to see if it ran, which it did (no errors)
(got this in the vminst.log)

2. Dropped my UAC settings from notify me when apps try to changes to my computer (Default) => Never notify me
3. Ran X:\vCenter-Server\VMware-vCenter-Server.exe as Administrator (even though I was an admin)
Good luck!
HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!
Even though that Vcenter server looked like it installed. none of the services are running.. back to the drawing board for me
