I am doing an install of vra 7.3. All the components in the distributed install work fine except for the second DEM which errors out and the guided installer fails. Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions?
Error installing DEM Orchestrator instance "iaas02.vmware.local DEO".
vCAC-Deo-Setup Installation Failed, ExitCode:1602
I've seen this before and I think the error code was the same. Can you post the error log snippet for confirmation?

This looks similar although I don't think it's identical. Check your .NET on the DEM-O server and if it complies with the requirements in the installation guide, uninstall and reinstall it. One issue I've seen is that some of the cryptographic libraries that shipped with .NET seem to not get overwritten properly in subsequent updates leading to failures at this stage.
