Why does Splunk for VMware 3.2.1 build 180 kill Splunk after installation with error "No data received ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE"?

[edroche3rd]

Good Afternoon Everyone

I have Splunk Ent. 6.3.2 and Splunk for VMware 3.2.1 build 180 running on a Windows 2012 R2 x64 VM in a ESXi 5.5 Infrastructure. I install the base Splunk have no issues can browse to it and login, change the default password, but as soon as I unzip the VMware APP into the Splunk folder and restart the Splunk service, I lose my site with the error "No data received ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". I am using the latest Chrome version on Windows 7 Ent with no firewall enabled.

Any suggestions

Thanks in Advance
Ed
