Installing vSphere PowerCLI 5

PowerCLI is a key component in vSphere 5. Every VMware Admin should learn and use this flexible tool.
First step is to install it on your admin client. I think you can thinapp it too, although I need to check with Ron Wang (VMware ASEAN desktop specialist) on this.

The installation is pretty easy. Along the way, you will see a warning below.
Just click continue on the above.
The next couple of screens are pretty simple. Pretty much follow the wizard. You can change location

And soon you will see a screen like this.

At the end of installation, you will see this screen.

That’s it. The next step is to install some sort of GUI tool. I use Quest PowerGUI.
