Error in firstboot script during install of vcenter server 6.7 on windows server 2019

Good morning,

I tried to install vcenter server 6.7 on windows server 2019 (for many reasons it's better for me this method over appliance) and failed because of this error:

[ vminst-con.log extract ]

[Running] C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\firstboot\visl-support-firstboot.py

Result:

--------------------------

Failure

2020-02-24T11:42:55.341Z  Running command: ['C:\\Windows\\system32\\icacls.exe', 'C:\\ProgramData\\VMware\\vCenterServer\\cfg/vmware-rhttpproxy/ssl', '/grant:r', '*S-1-5-18:(OI)(CI)(F)', '/grant:r', '*S-1-5-32-544:(OI)(CI)(F)', '/inheritance:r', '/L', '/Q']

2020-02-24T11:42:55.435Z  Done running command

Error Code : 1021

It seems a strange permission problem but I cannot understand it as I'm running setup with an Administrative user.

I shortened here the log for convenience but if needed I can share more of it.

Has anyone any suggestion?

Thank you

Matteo

Good morning,

After many tries I gave up and used the appliance instead. With the appliance I configured the vcenter without any problems.
