UPD 6.0 --> 6.5 - Migration Assistant: "Error: Failed to extract Migration Assistant Scripts:"

[ITS234678]

Hello,

we want to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.5, starting with the vCenter Server via "vCenter Server Appliance Installer", but when we run the migration assistant on the VUM-VM it always says: "Failed to extract Migration Assistant Scripts" and in the Log:

VMWare vCenter Server V. 6.0.0

Build 9291058

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Community,

just to rule this out, did you start the Migration Assistant in elevated mode, i.e. right click, and "Run as Administrator"?

Depending on the UAC configuration, this may be worth a try.
