vCenter is installed on top of an OS. It is not a stand alone operating system like ESXi.

vCenter and other plugins will need to be installed on either a physical Windows Server or Windows Server virtual machine. I would recommend deploying a Windows Server VM on your ESXi host and then mounting the ISO to that VM, install vCenter and then go from there.
