Error creating dvswitch

[JoJoGabor]

When I try to create a dvswitch I get the error "The type initializer for 'xr' threw an exception. All I am doing is going to Home -> Inventory -> Networking. Right-clicking the datacenter and selecting new vNetwork Distributed Switch.

I have had this on 2 different clusters connected to 2 different vCenters. Both latest builds (vSPhere 4-U1a)

Enterprise Plus licensing, correct?

[JoJoGabor]

Still in eval mode, Licensed features however shows Disitrbuted Virtual Switch is included

to me, it sounds more of an error related to the client and where it is being launched and run from. What OS are you running the client on and what build is the client?

[JoJoGabor]

Client is being launched from vcenter and is the same version as the vCetner - downloaded and installed yesterday. OS is W2K8 - but I also saw it on another cluster being managed by another vcenter (Same version) but on Windows 2003

[JoJoGabor]

It was a client issue. I upgraded vcenter with the latest vSphere client and it works fine now.

Thanks

Hi

This is because of "Microsoft Visual J # 2.0 Redistributable Package - SE" is not installed.

Best regards

I encountered the same problem and installing 'Microsoft Visual J # 2.0 Redistributable Package - SE' fixed it.
