The manual installation process installs the application files and specifies the repository to which Package
Studio will publish packages.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the target machine meets the supported hardware, operating system, and software
requirements. See VCM Hardware and Software Requirements Guide for currently supported platforms
and requirements.
n
Ensure you have access to the PackageStudio.msi, which is available on the VMware Web site or in
the vCenter Configuration Manager application files. The default location in the VCMapplication files is
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VCM\AgentFiles\Products.
n
(Recommended) Software Repository for Windows is installed. Installing the repository before
installing Package Studio will reduce the manual configuration steps.
Procedure
1. On your Collector, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VCM\AgentFiles\Products.
2. Locate the PackageStudio.msi file and copy it to the target machine.
You can also run the .msi from a shared location.
3. On the target machine, run the .msi file using the following command line syntax.
msiexec /i [path]\PackageStudio.msi /qn /l*v %temp%\PackageStudio.log
