Howdy,

When trying to connect to a ESXi server using the VMWare vShere Client I get an error:

Error parsing the server "server" "clients.xml" file.
Login will continue, contact your system administrator.

Followed by:

The type initializer for 'VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.HttpWebRequestProxy' threw an exception.

Any clues to fix this?

Windows 7 x64 RC Build 7100
vSphere client from ESXi 4.0.0 ReleaseBuild-171294

Thank you,
Keith

It seems basic, but there's confusion about the patching strategy needed to manually update standalone VMWare ESXi hosts. The VMWare vSphere blog attempts to explain this, but it's still not clear. From the blog: Say Patch01 includes updates for the following VIBs: "esxi-base", "driver10" and "driver… >>> More
