How ironic, this issue has forced users to install Microsoft Virtual PC. Well those who are using the WinXP Mode solution.

Not really I am running Windows 7, there is a work around you need to replace a file from .NET 3.5 place it in another folder and run the VM Launcher with a debug flag that points to that DLL so it can run, basically.

You don't need to run WinXP mode, I am doing this with NO XP on Windows 7 64-bit right now.

Try to take this dll, put it in directory C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib, open VpxClient.exe.config, and add there

<runtime>
<developmentMode developerInstallation="true"/>
</runtime>

Than make a bat file - and write there SET DEVPATH=%ProgramFiles%\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib
%ProgramFiles%\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe

Now All is OK, slightly modify .bat file

SET DEVPATH=C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib
"C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe"

Thanks.

Very interesting bug. You can also try to connect to your VM throught RDP or web.

Ok I found an answer, from the this blog

My Modification is to open Computer Properties

Advanced System Settings

Environment Variables

New in System Variables

DEVPATH =C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\Lib

Edit the VpxClient.exe.config adding

<runtime>
<developmentMode developerInstallation="true"/>
</runtime>

right before </configuration>

Copy VpxClient.exe.config to C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIUpdate 4.0 and rename it to VIUApp.exe.config

Notes:

Filenames of the config files appear to be case sensitive.

Theoreticly all exe's that VMWARE uses here can utilize the same trick ;)
