vSphere web client installation error 29700

Hello,

When I run the vCenter Server 5.5 Update 1 installation on Windows Server 2012 Standard, I have an error at the vSphere Web client's step. The error is "Error 29700. Cleaning up extra files for Log Browser Failed. Please check vminst.log in system temporary folder for details."

In vminst.log, the associated line are :

VMware vSphere Web Client-build-1441075: 04/02/14 18:22:33 ---CA exec: VMLogBrowserCleanUp

VMware vSphere Web Client-build-1441075: 04/02/14 18:22:33 Getting Property CustomActionData = C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\logbrowser\

VMware vSphere Web Client-build-1441075: 04/02/14 18:22:33 Failed to find any child files or directories for C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\logbrowser\, (5)

VMware vSphere Web Client-build-1441075: 04/02/14 18:22:33 Posting error message 29700

The directory logbrowser is created during the installation but the process removes the vSphereWebClient directory and pop-up this error.

Simple or Custom install didn't change anything so I tried to install vCenter Server 5.5, same error.

Anyone had the same error ?

The problem was resolved. To solve it, I changed my OS language to United States (English) and the installation works.
