VMware vCenter Server 5.5 Installation Hangs


When installing vCenter 5.5 (simple installation) on a Microsoft Windows Server 2012, the setup hangs almost when finishing.

This happens because the installer it's looking for something that Windows Server 2012 doesn't have.
The ocsetup.exe file.

To fix this, you'll need to:

  • Find a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine and copy the OCSetup.exe from %windir%\system32 to your Windows Server 2012 machine
  • Then, install the feature Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services
  • Restart your machine and restart your vCenter 5.5 setup
And it's all done! :)
