I cannot open the vcsa-setup.html file, it claims it needs a "Client Integration Plug-In".
I successfully installed the Client Integration Plug-In from the vsca directory on the CD.
However, neither Internet Explorer nor Chrome "detected" the plug-in when I tried to open the file again.
I uninstalled the plug-in again (because I installed it before Chrome the first time and thought maybe it needed installing after the browser).
Now it won't install again.
VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.exe fails with an alert
"There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Before clicking OK I checked the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Client Integration Plug-in 6.0" and the plug-in appears to be fully installed. However, after confirming the alert, the installer undoes the installation performed so far.
VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-6.0.0.exe /l c:\tmp\integration.log creates a log file that tells me that the error is rather unclear. This is what it says in the last few lines before confirming the alert box:

After clicking OK, it continues:

What do I do now?
