Explanation:
You can install vCenter Server and other vCenter components separately to customize the location and configuration of each component.
For most basic vCenter Single Sign-On deployments, if all components are on the same host machine, you can install vCenter Single Sign-On, the vSphere Web Client, Inventory Service, and vCenter Server together on a single host machine using the vCenter Server Simple Install option.
For a custom installation, vCenter Server 5.5 requires vCenter Single Sign-On and Inventory Service. You must install these components in this order: vCenter Single Sign-On, the vSphere Web Client, Inventory Service, and vCenter Server.
