How to install vSphere Client 7.0

[Dapec290]

In the downloading page of vSphere says that my download includes vSphere Client, but idk how to install it or where to download it, I don't even know if that version of the Client exists since on Internet I've only found 6.0 version max, and the video tutorials that appears in the "Installation & Configuration" tab, looks like from 5-10 years ago (still using explorer). Hope you can help me. Thanks btw.

Ciao,

from version 6.5 it is no longer possible to use the vSphere client to manage ESXi or vCenter infrastructures. To manage an ESXi HOST there is now a WEB interface available as soon as the Hypervisor installation is completed. The interface is available via WEB using the url https://<fqdn of the server> or https://<IP address>
Actually I don't know why it is still indicated, it probably refers to the WEB client.

The text on the website is outdated and misleading.  A stand alone host and this include the ESXi "free" Hypervisor as well coming with the Hostclient (WebGUI) which can be reached under https://youresxi:443  after installation. There is a small helper application called VMRC which is the console as well.
