Hi There,

How to Install VMware-viclient-all-5.5.0-3000347.exe on Windows

Download the file “VMware-viclient-all-5.5.0-3000347.exe” to your computer (either from your ESXi 5.5 host or from your backup source if you still have it).

Once downloaded, double-click the .exe file to start the installer.

If Windows shows a security warning, click “Run” to continue.

The installer will open: click “Next” and accept the license agreement.

Choose the installation directory (you can leave the default) and click “Install.”

Wait for the installation to complete—this usually takes 1–2 minutes.

When it’s done, click “Finish,” and you should now see VMware vSphere Client in your Windows menu.

You can then connect to your ESXi 5.5 host using its IP address, username, and password.

If you encounter any errors or the installer doesn't start, please send me the exact message and I’ll help you troubleshoot

Hi Alain Wehbe,

After resetting your computer, it is normal that the VMware vSphere Client is no longer available, as it needs to be reinstalled separately. To recover the controller (vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client), you can connect directly to the IP address of your ESXi host or vCenter through a web browser; the page will automatically provide the correct download link for your version. If you are using a standalone ESXi host, the built-in HTML management interface (accessed via a browser) is usually sufficient and does not require any additional installation. For HP ProLiant firmware version 8.70, please also ensure that your ESXi/vSphere version is compatible with that server model. Once the vSphere Client is reinstalled, you should be able to access your VMware environment again without affecting your existing virtual machines.

Please "accept the answer" so that it could be spread further to those in need too. If not, is there anything I can help you with? Please let me know.
