Remove the vCenter Server 5.1 JRE registry key.
 
To remove the JRE Key:

  2. Navigate to HKLM > Software > VMware,Inc. > VMware Infrastructure > JRE.
  3. Right-Click the 5.1 JRE key and click Delete.
  • When non-functional Inventory Service upgraded before upgrading:
Rollback to the vCenter Server 5.x system and investigate the status of the Inventory Service.
