Remove your client software.

Then install both VI 2.5 client and vSphere client.

You can download them by connecting to your hosts with a browser.

Hi Andre,

Still no resolution , i had tried it, by uninstalling all the clients and reinstalling them facing the same issue, mostly its happeing after installing 4.0 client

even i tried by installing only 4.0 but facing the same error.

after trying the above resolution , wht i think that the client's are not getting updated with 4.0 client can u suggested me how its going to work, coz i noticed its occuring after updating the clients to 4.0....

pls suggest ....

thnx

That's a known issue with the first 4.0 vShpere Client and .NET Framework.

see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022611 for the resolution.
