Hello,
I'm having a problem with the VSphere 5 client on a Windows 7 x 64 laptop. When I start the client, it attempts to authenticate, and then I receive the error message " the type initializer for 'VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.ClientsXml' threw an exception". At that point, I have to cancel, and cannot launch the client. I did verify I'm attaching to a VCenter 5 server, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the client. I've seen a number of similar references to this error, but they were all for the VSphere 4 client and MS .NET 3.5. I'm at VSphere 5, and .NET 4. Is anyone else having this issue? Anyone have any ideas, or directions to go in? Thanks
