Cannot install vCenter Server Appliance 6 Error “No apps are installed to open this type of link”
A requirement for the installation of VCSA 6.0 is installing the Client Integration Plug-in. Normally, this can be done during the time you install the VCSA. However, during a recent installation, I got the error “No apps are installed to open this type of link”
My first thought was there was a browser compatibility issue with IE11 and the installer, so I tried Firefox and Chome but I got the same results. Next was a quick reboot, still same error.
Finally, I tried installing “VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0” manually and then running the VCSA installer. What do you know it installed without issue.
Simple fix on this one — Manually, install the “VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0” first and then run the VCSA installer.
You can find the “VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0” in the ‘vcsa’ folder in the VCSA ISO.
