Upgraded to 5.5 and no client downloads are listed on the splash page.

I just upgraded a windows based 5.1 server to 5.5 and there are no clients listed for download on the splash page just a link to the java web client.  I am going to down load the appliance just so I can snag the client packages but they should be included in the Windows install as well right?

Hi,

I have the same problem. When I want to install the client (vCenterOrchestrator.exe from vSphere CD) on W7 Pro 32-bit there is an error "When loading Java VM the error Windows 216 occured".

And on the web Orchestrator page there isn't the link for downloading.

Can anybody help?

Hi Milan,

vCenterOrchestrator.exe is the combined (server+client) installer which is for 64-bit systems only. Windows 216 error means you are trying to use 64-bit stuff on 32-bit OS.

For 32-bit Windows, you need the 32-bit client executable (the file is named vCenterOrchestartorClient-32bit-5.5.0.exe). It can be downloaded from vCO Appliance home page, under the link 'Download vCenter Orchestrator Client Installable'. Not sure if it is available as a separate download.

Hope this helps,

Ilian

Thaks for your answer. I have sensed this problem, but I can't find the 32-bit installer on the vmware pages.

I have to try again. If you know it send me please the link.

Thanks

You need to download the appliance, deploy it, then go to the splash page and all available clients will be listed.  Why they are not available for download from the windows vCO is a complete mystery and I will add it to my ever growing list of things that boggle my mind with VMware products.  I am sure this will persist for many versions as this is likely a low priority fro them to get to.
