Hi,
we would like to evaluate the vSphere Storage Appliance. During the installation of the the VSA Manager an error occurs and the installer performs a rollback.
Looking at the vminst.log, the error comes from the Cluster Service installation.
vminst.log snippet:

svaInstUtil: 09/06/13 10:47:43 VMInstSystem::ShellExecuteWait::done (wait) Res: 1
The Error "Unzulässige Funktion" is german for "illegal function".
If I try to install the standalone Cluster Service instead of the full VSA Manager, I get the same error.
I searched the Knowledgebase and the web, but sadly this error seems to be unique, so no solution.
The environment is a fresh installed Windows Server 2008R2 SP1 with the latest vCenter 5.1.0 Build 1235232 backed by a SQL 2008R2 SP2. The 3 ESXi servers are also on the latest build 1157734. The VSA version I tried to install is 5.1.3.
So I am out of ideas 
Does anyone have a suggestion?
