VMware ESXi 5.5 - VMRC Not Launching via Web GUI

When I open a running VM and select the Console > Launch Remote Console nothing happens. I know VMRC works because when I paste the following url into my browser vmrc://<esxi-ip>/?moid=1 it automatically opens VMRC and I am able to access the VM. I had just installed the ESXi Embedded Host Client​ - do I need to enable anything to allow this service?

Additional Info

Client version: 1.29.0

Client build number: 8122819

ESXi version: 5.5.0

ESXi build number: 1892794

Any ideas what might be causing this? I tested IE 11, Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Thanks!

I ran tests on our 6.5 servers and the button works as intended...argh!

Test booted a new HV running ESXi 5.5 Update 3b and the button works. The other HVs are running older patches - this is almost certainly the issue.
