Wil
can anyone please help me for above issue ?
I am experiencing same when try to upgrade from 6.7 to 7.
Using windows32 vcsa-ui-insaller
iso mounted
Me too, no solution found so far, can anyone point in the right direction?
Getting the same error when trying to install vCenter Server 7.0.3 via the vcsa-ui-installer/lin64/installer on a CentOS 8.4 machine...
I was having the same error on a Windows 10 machine. After trying from the CLI and still getting errors, I downloaded the older vCenter 7.0U2d ISO and was able to complete the install
I have also faced this issue.
Its when I downloaded the Vcenter and mounted it and copied the files to another folder. The issue happens because, when I copied the permissions of the file was changed by which the installer(executable) was not able to execute the ovf script.
Resolution:
I have extracted the Vcenter.ISO to a folder. And when I perform 'ls -l' I could see the permissions of the file remains the same, and when I executed the installer script installation worked just like that.
Hope this was helpful.
Hello,
I don't understand how you have extracted the .iso to a folder. Can you explain in details please ?

https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html
You install 7-zip or some other unpacking software and then just right click the .iso image and select extract to... In my case I noticed that the actual .iso image was broken. When extracting I got over 300 errors. So downloaded a new image and extracted that > All good.
Hey,
Had the exact same issue on dark site
The iso was faulty
Please check your iso integrity MD5SUM,SHA1SUM,SHA256SUM
I ran into this problem. I copied the VCSA install files to a local directory (in my case this was a directory call VCSA in my home directory) on my admin machine. I change the file permissions to 774 on the ovftool. i.e.
$ chmod 774 ~/VCSA/vcsa/ovftool/lin64/ovftool
This allowed the ovftool to execute.
