Run the VMware-VCSA-all-6.0.0-3634788.iso on a windows 2012 R2 server to deploy a new 6.0 VCSA (embedded PSC). The new VCSA VM will be in an existing 5.5 vCenter.
I click finish to kick off the deployment and it fails right away. Banner says to check the logs:
Stop called on web socket: 50100 Web Socket Server [50100] Terminated With no error code
I found KBA 2106760 “Triaging a vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 installation, upgrade, or migration (6.0 U2m) failure (2106760) ” which provided the location C:UsersxxxxAppDataLocalVMwareCIPvcsaInstallersessionssession_000xlogs opened all of the log file and found:

Re-Run the install, but only enter 1 DNS server and NTP server.
Validate the forward and reverse look ups work on the win 2012 server your are RDP’ed into.
Add vmware-localhost to the Trusted Sites in IE. Firefox it will be the proxy and add https://vc55-ipaddress
A long shot is to disable the Anti-Virus. If not allowed, try to allow the windows 2012 server IP and 127.0.0.1 IPs to the allowed list (ex. Symantec Endpoint Protection for the software firewall on the win 2012 box)
