Unable to enable convertor plugin with update 1

[admin]

I have upgraded VC to update 1 but I am unable to see the convertor plugin, I have uninstalled/reinstalled it above 5 time to no avail, it shows as installed but the button does not appear in VC next to update manager, has anybody else had this problem - if so how did you cure it.

Some additional pictures, I'm really lost now!

Did you select the default install action when you did the install? I also ran this twice, and I got mixed results as well. However, when I ran the custom install with the capacity planner piece checked, the button does show up. As you say, though, this is not good on VMware part to work this way.

Again built a new server, new instance completely, still no consolidation button, I have rebuilt 6 times on 6 different servers in everyway possible still rubbish install, this is really mega annoying, nightmare, I'm well not happy to be honest and give up... nasty nasty build version I am skipping update 1 and will not be deploying it period - why is Vmware not releasing any help on this.

Ok I think think that maybe this functionality is no longer available as other people I have spoken to also have this button missing, if you have installed Update 1 of VC and have this button can you post a jpeg of it.

Am i missing something in the licence file?

Found the answer

In update 1 it appears Consolidation is not enabled so I navigated to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\

and removed the following lines from the vpxd.cfg file and rebooted the server.

RTFM, they seemed to have changed the defaults from installed to not installed maybe!
