VMware vSphere Client for Windows is officially dead for vSphere 6.5 but for earlier versions you can still use it. Many VMware and IT consultants are still using it when they visit their clients on older vSphere infrastructures. Download the VMware ESXi Embedded Host Client fling here. VSphere HTML5 Web Client Fling v1.2 (h5client) This fling got released this week and it allows you to connect with an HTML5 based web client to the vCenter server. Be aware that this client is designed for managing vCenter only!

Download and Install vSphere Client • Go to the ip address of the ESXi host. (EX: ) **Note: Ignore any security warnings that your browser might bring up. • Download the vSphere client by clicking on the link.

A.EXE file should start downloading. • Run the installer (replace the directory path with the path to your.exe file): wine ~/Downloads/VMware-client-all- *.exe• Follow all the instructions in the installer. • If you get a error because the.NET framework needs to be installed I will post about how to fix that later.

• MOST of the time, a error will appear saying the the hcmon driver failed to install. DO NOT CLICK CANCEL. • Navigate to the /.wine directory, and temporarily move it to your desktop. (Finder - Go - Go to folder - ~/.wine) • Now you can click cancel, the installer will say it failed to install, this is fine, close the installer. • Now you can move your.wine folder back to its original place (/Users/[name]/.wine) • The vSphere client should now be installed. Run Client and Connect to Host • In Terminal navigate to the folder where the client exe is located (not the installer): cd ~ /.wine/drive_c/ 'Program Files' /VMware/Infrastructure/ 'Virtual Infrastructure Client' /Launcher/• Then run the Client with this command: wine VpxClient.exe • If a screen opens up asking for a username and password then everything is working.

• In the Host Box, type the Host's IP address (the one that we used to download the installer). • Then put in your username and password (default username is 'root'). • If you are brought to a screen that asks about credentials and certificates, click Ignore.

• Double-click the file to begin installation. • Click Install to continue the installation. If you are using Word 5.1: When the Word Converter Installer dialog box prompts you for an installation location, enter your Word Commands folder. Windows 98 download for mac mac. • Follow the instructions in the Word Import Converter Installer dialog box.

• If all works, then the client should connect! Enjoy this project?
