But, VMware did a great job and  published this workaround:

Workaround: If VirtualCenter is upgraded when the VMware Infrastructure Web Access Service is running, you need to reinstall the Virtual Infrastructure Web Access feature and re-install the Performance Overview plug-in:

  1. In the Add or Remove Programs utility, change the VMware VirtualCenter Server program.
  2. Modify the VirtualCenter Server installation, and remove the Virtual Infrastructure Web Access feature.
