Select the laguage for the installation and click Ok. The wizard will detect a previous install of vCenter Converter and notify you that it will be upgraded to the latest version. Click Ok.

The process for the install and upgrade is the same, but for the upgrade there is an additional prompt to let you know its being upgraded. If upgrading confirm you want to continue by clicking Yes.
