Error parsing the server “[server/ip]” “clients.xml” file. Login will continue, contact your system administrator.
And after that the following;
The type initializer for ‘VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.HttpWebRequestProxy’ threw an exception.
So I couldn’t get into VMWare management console. After some googling and testing there is a solution for the problem.
- Download this file (contains a .config file and a system.dll from .Net 3.5 SP1)
- Create a folder LIB in %programfiles%\VMWare\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher
- Copy the system.dll file into the LIB folder
- Create a system variable DEVPATH that points to %programfiles%\VMWare\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\LIB
- Replace the VpxClient.exe.config in the %programfiles%\VMWare\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher with the new file
Now will the vSphere 4.0 work correctly.

I found your post while trying to Google a solution to this issue. Looks promising, except that your download link seems to be broken. It says "Invalid download session. Please initialize download session again." Back to Googling I guess....
Thanks for pointing this out. I tried a new file hosting provider but have moved the file to a better place.
The file should be available now.
Thanks, I got the file now. But your instructions don't mention what to do with the .config file. I figured it out eventually though.
Thanks for this! Very handy.
You may want to make a note that if using a 64-bit version of Win7, the vSphere client is installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\, but %programfiles% points to c:\Program Files\.
So you'll need to use the full path in the DEVLAB variable.
Thanks for this!
For Windows 7 64-bit you can use the following program files variable:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%
A BIG thanks... Work perfectly!
Thank you very much.
It worked.
