VirtualCenter Installation Fails When Password Field Left Blank (1807)
Details
Why did my VirtualCenter installation fail?
Solution
If you started your VirtualCenter installation and provided a
user name, but you did not provide a password, the installation
starts and fails with an error similar to the following:
Setup failed to update the VirtualCenter configuration file
'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\VMA\vmaConfig.xml'.
Do not enter a user name unless you have a corresponding
password.
To correct this, upgrade to VirtualCenter version 1.3.1 or
later.
