Take a look at the vCenter Server 6 release notes: VMware vSphere 6.0 Release Notes

If you have uninstalled the IPv4 stack, the installation of VMware vCenter Server 6.0.0 might fail while trying to start the VMwareAfdService. The error messages that appear are:

Installation of component VCSServiceManager failed with error code '1603'. Check the logs for more details.
Workaround: Before you install VMware vCenter Server 6.0.0, make sure the IPv4 stack is installed. If the command
netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces
results in a message:The request is not supported.
, the IPv4 stack has been uninstalled and should be reinstalled. To reinstall the IPv4 stack, run thenetsh interface ipv4 install
command and reboot the machine.
thanks, I already tried that but no luck...
I solved it by disabling IPv6 and deleting secondairy IP adres on my NIC.
Did you ever resolve this and how? I tried disabling IPv6 and we do not have a secondary IP address. Also IPv4 is installed properly.
For me this had nothing to do with disabling IPV6 or IPV4 stack. I installed Windows Install Cleanup tool and removed everything 'VMWare' i also deleted any VMWare keys manually from the registry ran the install as local administrator and the install completed succesfully.
Can I ask why you are installing an old vCenter onto an old OS?
