VMware VCSA 6.5U1a accept EULA

Strange error today, I wanted to share because I didn't find a solution on google immediately.

I came across the solution by cleverness alone.

Situation: VCSA updated to 6.5U1 and 6.5U1a is available (build 6671409); trying either the repository or the CDROM method of updating is unable to be completed: no 'accept' button available when trying to install.

For reference and searching: accept grey, unable to accept EULA, cannot accept EULA, cannot update, unable to update VCSA....

The problem: Chrome has no check box to accept the EULA, and the button to proceed is grey, so you have two options: read the EULA, or cancel, neither results in an install.

The solution: use Firefox.

I'm a huge fan of Chrome; but sometimes, Firefox just works.  this is one of those times.

Good luck out there in the tubes... until next time.
