Actually nm I got it to work properly was a permission issue on the get vm script, However When I select 15-20 vm hosts on 1 vcenter It fails and gives me request failed: URI too long (longer than 8190)

One problem that causes the "VMware SDK has not yet been installed" issue can be your password.

I had a password with # in it and even though the wizard accepts it, it does not get passed to the getguests.pl script. A way to get around this is to escape the invalid character when typing the password. For example:

Instead of
#MyPassword
Type
\#MyPassword

And the wizard will work correctly.
