Hi, not sure if this is the correct forum, but been having a problem with the vSphere client that needs a bit of help. We have an ESXi v5 server being administered via the vSphere Client version 5.0.0. We had a number of production VM's running Ubuntu and server 2008, plus some test VM's running XP all running OK. Recently we tried to create a new virtual machine by uploading a VMDK to a folder in the datastore using the vSphere client - datastore browser, as we have done before, however after we select 'Yes' on the 'Upload/Download Operation Warning' dialog box, the vSphere client disappears! No error in the eventvwr. No error in the vSphere client log. Just vannishes. resulting in the need to log back in.
We have uninstalled the client, rebooted, re-installed - makes no difference.
We are using Windows 7 64 bit workstation with 8Gb Ram, powerful enough processors etc..
I have admin access to entire system
This worked up until yesterday.
Can anybody please suggest a fix for this? Has anybody else seen this issue?
