Deploy OVA - All Configuration Steps Missing

I am attempting to deploy the OVA following the instructions on this page hxxp://help.eset.com/era/6/en-US/index.html?virtual_appliance.htm however none of the configuration steps appear through the Deploy OVF Template wizard.

Did you redeploy with  the web console?

Was there ever a resolution to this? I'm having the same issue as well.

Yeah, since no one bothered to post an update, I'll do it:
This "bug" has to do with directly connecting to the ESXi Console. The OVF template is for vCenterServers only. So you will need to connect directly to a vCenter server using a vSphere Client. If you do not have a vCenter server, it will not work and you'll get all the missing settings.

 

The other alternative is to spin up your own CentOS (or other linux distro of your choice) and manually install. I ran into a bunch of blocks, but it wasn't tremendously difficult to work out.
