Note: vRA 7.0 enterprise license is required to use the software deployment capabilities of vRA 7.0. If you have a license that does not include this, you will need to depend solely on the Gugent to run your scripts in similar fashion to what was done in previous versions of vRA, which I have document previously at: vCAC Guest Agent Installation

vRA 7 bootstrap installation in Windows:

(Certs)

1. Make sure your root cert is trusted by your template.
2. Make sure your Manager Service cert is trusted by your template as well.

(Gugent)

1. Download the Gugent installer from https://vRealize_VA_Hostname_fqdn:5480/installer/GuestAgentInstaller_x64.exe.
2. Extract the Gugent to C:\VRMGuestAgent (Do not rename this directory).
3. Do not install the Gugent service, as the bootstrap installer will take care of that for you.
