Previously Craig posted Database Upgrade during vCenter 2.5 Update 4 Installation, and I’m facing an issue during installing the “Performance Overview Plugin”.

Referring to VMware KB Article 1008296 – Installing the Performance Overview Plug-In in VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 4, the installation process is pretty straight forward and I was get stuck with “install.bat “.

Basically I can only found “vpx/perfCharts” folder inside “VMware-VIMSetup-2.5.0-U4-English.iso”. When I issued an “install.bat” command I’m get an “Access is denied” error message. I believed the reason is I can’t write anything into Drive H: folder which mounted as Read Only with Daemon Tools.

Again I tried the same command from drive “C:\Document and Settings\myUserName>h:\vpx\perfCharts\install vcUser vcPassword” and I’m getting another error “Windows cannot find “run.bat”. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then tried again. To search for a file, click Start button, and then click Search“.

Finally I managed to get installation worked by manually copy the entire Drive “h:\vpx” folder into Drive “c:\vpx” and run installation from Drive “c:\vpx” folder and its work like a charm.

Again, I like the new Performance Overview view.
