Error 29103 : Cannot read file or directory ; while installing SSO 5.1

[ncchetan]

I am hoping some one has a clue about this error message while doing a fresh install of vCenter server and components.

Client : Windows Server 2008 R2 running as a VM.

I have tried 1. the simple install with the basic mode for SSO,

2. simple install with Multisite mode for SSO,

3. Installing SSO separately.

With each approach, I get the same error message, "Error 29103: Cannot read file or Directory"

All the pre-requisites mentioned on install guide for 5.1 have been covered.

Has anyone else come across this issue?

Any lead is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chetan

VMsupport recommended against it as SSO is the foundation for Inventory services and Vcenter.

If you did this it would require more work as you would have to create the linkages manually between the services.
