I have seen many workarounds for this issue. The best one that I have seen with full detailed instructions is on the following site.

http://www.techhead.co.uk/running-vmware-vsphere-client-on-windows-7

It does include the system.dll file that is needed to run as well. I have not had any issues with the client after making these changes.

Comon Vmware pull your finger out. Windows 7 has been RC forever now and it's not released. This client should have been here a long time ago.

I`ve just found that it 100% works without any problems if install WCF in Windows components.

Mine does not work with WCF installed. I installed both the http and non-http versions. No luck.

Dear TGW69,

It is a good method! I set on my Windows 7 Enterprise x64 RTM, works and no batch file need. Thanks!

This did not work on my system. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and the only 'compatibility' option was a wizard where I did select XP SP3, and it still generates the same error message for clients.xml.

Windows 7 Ulitmate x86 or x64? did you check the following workaround? http://www.techhead.co.uk/running-vmware-vsphere-client-on-windows-7 this is proven to work on 64bit.

x86. I understand there is a workaround, but it seems crazy that VMware isn't support a client OS with their vSphere client. I understand it's a .NET issue with a .dll but that doesn't seem something un-correctable.

If you use my powershell script it will set this up for you and you
wont have to use compatibility mode which is slow in my experience.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately XP mode is only possible if your computer supports intel VT or the AMD equivalent. If for some reason your bios locks that option or you have an older computer this is not a valid workaround.

I had to edit the Vsphere.cmd to this:

SET DEVPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\lib
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe"

Not sure if that was any big difference but if you need to simply copy and paste that might help... Thanks a lot for the original post
