  "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin" is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.

Note: This issue does not affect vCLI 5.5 and earlier releases, only vCLI 6.0 is affected.

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXi 6.0
VMware vSphere ESXi 6.5

Cause

This issue is caused as the installation does not set the vSphere CLI for vSphere 6.0 path correctly, in the system environment variables.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in vCenter Server 6.5.x, available at VMware Downloads.

To work around this issue in previous version, update the PATH variable to include vSphere CLI for vSphere 6.0.

The default path is: PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin";"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\Perl\bin";%PATH%
