I have a problem running VI3.5 Update 1 Web Access with a Vista Client. Each Time I click on Console, IE crashes or closes the windows without notices. Does anyone have a workaround (or a clue )? I don't have this problem with XP or with firefox (but I have to use IE7 on Vista...)
Please attach client logs from desktop under c:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\VMware\vpx
The problem is that it doesn't generate any log. I think IE7 crashes when launching VMWare's ActiveX
Did you try SP1 for Vista?
Also you need a good registry fix program, your registry has become corrupt. I have noticed that Vista is much more sensitive to registry changes than XP, and sometimes when IE7 crashes, I do a registry fix, and everything is fine after a reboot.
So between SP1 for Vista and fixing your registry, you should be fine. I have been using the client on Vista including the beta Vista and it has been working as well as the web access.
I am seeing the same issue. There is an update to web access included in Update 2, but I have yet to get my hands on Update 2 to know if this issue is addressed.
Post if you find a fix.
Thanks!
The issue is still present with the update included in Update2.
Hello,
Do you find a fix or a workaround for this issue ? Except use of Firefox 2 or IE6 ;o)
Thank you in advance

Nothing has changed.
Vista SP1 and IE7 up-to-dated, ESX VC 2.5 also up-to-dated.
Web access is working except the console tab of a VM. If I'm trying to click on the console tab, IE7 automatically reboots.
Hi there,
Same problem here : Vista 32bits IE7 up to date : Clicking Console tab crash IE
tested with run as administrator : same problem
Tested on WinXP up to date with IE7 : no problem
Tested on WinXP up to date with IE6 : no problem
😕

locating logs in : C:\Users\<userprofilename>\AppData\Local\VMware\vpx : files belong to the use of VI Client and no update of them is made when IE crash : seems that no log could help at this place.
Same issue
VI3.5 Update 3 with latest patches (08JAN2009)
IE7+Vista(32bit) = IE7 Crash at https:<servername>/ui/
IE7+WinXPSP3(32bit) = Functions properly
Any update on a bug fix from VMware?
I am the same problem. Environment is vmware server 2, Vista 64 bit sp1, IE7. IE 7 crashes when opening a VM console. Fortunately the VM console launches OK.
It's annoying...
Bonjour,
Etant absent jusqu'au 5 mars inclus, je ne pourrai répondre à mes emails avant cette date.
Bien à vous

I also have this problem. With Vista SP1 and IE8.
It crashes when you're opening the remote console.
We're running ESX3.5u2 and VC2.5u4
