In the above mentioned document, the vCenter based properties listed in the table for a silent installation are listed with a capital "V" at the beginning. However, the examples incorrectly show these properties begin with a lowercase "v".
Example:
"Zerto Virtual Replication VMware Installer.exe" -s vCenterHostName={IP address} vCenterUserName={username} vCenterPassword={password}
