I tried to install an old ISO image of the Vcenter virtual appliance from the 2017 and I discovered it was not installable anymore.
The installation progress stuck at 80% and in the end it failed with RPM installation failed.
Reading around it seems a bug in the image itself, the setup process cannot change the root password and so cannot continue and it fails.
Solution (in my case) :
Simply download the latest VCSA .ISO from VmWare site
(I just installed this succesfully: VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-7119157.iso )
NOTE: also this version seems to stuck at 80%, it will take a long time to move from 80% but in the end it will be able to pass it and finish the installation

Vmware ESX 3.5 Virtual Center 2.5 client on 64bit OS
Hi,
I know this is a little bit old topic, but there is still people around using Vmware ESX 3.5 version with Virtual Center 2.5 and it happens to change the management desktop to windows 7 64bit and discover that the client installed from the Virtual Center server is not supported on 64bit OS
Around in internet there are some articles with a workaround, but they are old and outdated, the solution is really simple, download the latest version of Virtual Center 2.5 (I found Update 6c) like a .ZIP file,
unzip it, you'll find in there the client setup, that one is working on 64bit clients :)
Here the link where I downloaded it (you need to be logged on the site to open it) :
