Hi,
I tried install VMware Client Integration Plugin 6.0 for deploy new vCenter Server VA and I received this error:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.
A program run as part of the setup did finish as expected.
Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
On the background is a window with status:
Installing certificates and starting services...
In folder %TEMP% is log file vmmsi.log_<date_time>_Failed.log
Key data:

Unfortunately I couldn't find out the reason of error from this log.
After my extremely long researching I find out
that subprocess vmware-csd (creating keys and certificetes) logs into the folder C:\ProgramData\VMware\CIP\csd\logs
Example of the log file (csd_000x.log) in troublefree installation:
[2015-03-16 16:30:39] [INFO] Certificate registered!!!
[2015-03-16 16:30:39] [INFO] Changes to the hosts file were successful.
[2015-03-16 16:30:39] [INFO] Changes to the hosts file were successful.
[2015-03-16 16:30:39] [INFO] Successful install of CSD protocol handler.
In my case log file ended:
[2015-03-16 16:30:39] [INFO] Certificate registered!!!
There were missing records about some modification of file hosts.
Reason:
Installer will fail, if the file hosts.bak exists there before running installation of VMware Client Integration Plugin 6.0 !
Solution:
Rename or delete file hosts.bak in folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
Good Luck.
P.S.
Deacivate any antivirus before starting the installation of VMware Client Integration Plugin 6.0
