    install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\goodies\

  2. Double-click on the Veritas VSS provider for vSphere shortcut.
  3. Follow the prompts.
  4. When the utility has completed, restart the computer if prompted.
  5. Following the restart, the utility resumes. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

To uninstall the Veritas VSS provider

  1. In the Control Panel, open Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features.
  2. Double-click on Veritas VSS provider.

    The uninstall program does not automatically reinstall the VMware VSS provider.
