i guess you have uninstalled vSphere Client 4 before installing vSPhere 5 client. Both client coexist on same windows machine and will choose the right one based on the target VC or ESX during login.

am sure you might have tried it, add the 4.x hosts to VC5 and  access through it Smiley Happy

as stated, you'll need both clients, if connecting to multiple vSphere builds.  The launcher.exe within the client will determine what version to proper launch when you connect to your virtual infrastructure.
