Tried installing vCAC 6.0 on vSphere 5.5 (on ML110 - 1P2C, 8GB with SSD) but failed. However, when I retry on vSphere 5.1, it works. Services seems to start.

I can't find the link to package MS Office 2013 but only MS Office 2010 as here . I'm packaging MS Office 2013 the same way MS office 2010 did and it works. Some notes to be taken:- Always run the thinapp with local administrator privilege. Make sure you modify the config.xml (located on proplusr.ww folder), save it and run the setup in command prompt, e.g.. setup.exe /config c:\tmp\config.xml I will choose to run thinapp with VMware Fusion/Workstation with SSD and snapshot.

Since the whole Office will be packaged, always select option "Run all from my computer" Always remember to run the application a couple times after installation Always remember to activate the license before proceeding with post-scan I've not installed .net framework as suggested by some blog and the Office 2013 is working.

If you do not have SMTP installed in your corporate, you can use smtp.gmail.com with port 587. As for user to log on to the vcenter, if you are using a domain user, you need to use this format instead - "username@domainname" rather than "domain name\username".
