Hi

There is no vCenter here:

Thanks for direct links.

Since this is a new vCenter installation can I install vCenter 5.0 without any upgrade process while keeping ESXi 4.1. still installed?

Yes, per my comment "will manage v4.1 hosts" ;-)
Doesn't matter if it's a new install or an upgrade. It'll manage back to v3.5 hosts (see p.24 of the PDF).
Thanks for all answers

Donwloaded and installed the "VMware vCenter Server 4.1 Update 1 and modules" (hint by paulsolov) from links provided by robincm. Checked licenses I had in hand and noticed that there were not license for "VMware vCenter Server 5.0". So thanks to hanccocka too for noting that 4.1 licenses won't apply for 5.0.
