The required client support files cannot be retrieved from the server "vsphereclient.vmware.com"

Hi, Dear friend

     I am a beginner of ESXi 5.5, today i installed the server part on HP DL380, and the client tools on a PC. Now PC could ping DL380 ESXi, but when login, it show the error: The required client support files cannot be retrieved from the server "vsphereclient.vmware.com". The login process will now exit.

     I input "vsphereclient.vmware.com" in a browser address bar, it also can't access this vsphereclient network.

     Is there anything wrong? does this "vsphereclient.vmware.com" really works? or it should be the problem of my network?

BR&Thanks

Hao

Direct download last version of vSphere client:

http://vsphereclient.vmware.com/vsphereclient/1/9/9/3/0/7/2/VMware-viclient-all-5.5.0-1993072.exe

Hi,

goto here: The required client support files cannot be retrieved from the server "vsphereclient.vmware.com"

Log in and then you get license key for free hypervisor...
