Mount ISO image for New VCSA Install as a VM

Hello  VMware Community,

  I'm trying to install vCenter 6.5 as a VM on one of two ESXi 6.5 servers and can't locate the procedures for the install.  Everything I've come across is referring to an install on a Windows/Linus or MAC computer, but I can't find the information on how to install vCenter as a VM.

  Where are the instructions located for an install like this?

To deploy the vCSA from the ISO image is to mount it to e.g. your local host, start the "installer.exe" from the "\vcsa-ui-installer\win32\" directory, and follow the steps in the wizard.

For the deployment to work properly, make sure that you've created a Host-A. and PTR record for the vCSA on your DNS server(s), i.e. forward, and reverse lookp need to work!
