http://FQDN-of-APPDServer/agent/vmware-appdirector-agent-bootstrap-windows_6.0.0.0.zip
Step 4: Now go the vCAC appliance home page for example https://vcac-l-01a.corp.local:5480/install and download the windows guest agent to the same folder
Step 6: This next step is very important or your deployments will fail. Right click on each zip file. select properties, and mark them as unblock and click ok
Step 7: create a directory named \opt\vmware-jre and unzip the JRE file you downloaded earlier to it, the directory should look like this:
Step 8: Open a windows powershell command line and type \opt\vmware-jre\jre-1.7.0_45-win64\bin\java -version and press enter
You should see the screen above.
Step 10: Open a command prompt and change to the VRMGuest agent directory and type winservice -i -h FQDNofWindowsIaaS:443 -p ssl and press enter

You can copy and paste the link below.
install.bat password=VMware1! cloudProvider=vcac vcacServer=vcac-w8-01a.corp.local httpsMode=https vcacServerPort=443

I believe this bit is wrong:
\opt\vmware-jre\jre-1.7.0_45-win64\bin\java
as it should be
\opt\vmware-jre\bin\java
