vSphere 5.5 Install or Upgrade the vSphere Web Client

The vSphere Web Client lets you connect to a vCenter Server system to manage your vSphere deployment
through a browser.
If an earlier version of the vSphere Web Client is installed, this procedure upgrades the vSphere Web Client

Procedure
1 In the software installer directory, double-click the autorun.exe file to start the installer.
2 Select vSphere Web Client and click Install.
3 Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to choose the installer language, and agree to the end user
patent and license agreements.
4 Either accept the default destination folder or click Change to select another location.
The installation path cannot contain any of the following characters: non-ASCII characters, commas (,),
periods (.), exclamation points (!), pound signs (#), at signs (@), or percentage signs (%).
If 8.3 name creation is disabled on the host machine, do not install the vSphere Web Clientin a directory
that does not have an 8.3 short name or has a name that contains spaces. This situation will make the
vSphere Web Client inaccessible.
5 Accept or change the default port settings.
6 Enter the information to register the vSphere Web Client with vCenter Single Sign-On.
The vCenter Single Sign-On administrator user name is administrator@vsphere.local, and the password
must match the password you entered for the administrator user when you installed vCenter Single
Sign-On. The Lookup Service URL takes the form https://SSO_host_FQDN_or_IP:
7444/lookupservice/sdk, where 7444 is the default vCenter Single Sign-On HTTPS port number. Your
entry should match the entry you made when you installed vCenter Single Sign-On. If you entered a
different port number when you installed vCenter Single Sign-On, use that port number.
7 Click Install.
8 Start the vSphere Web Client by taking one of the following actions.
n If you are starting the vSphere Web Client for the first time, open a supported browser, and go to
https://vSphere_Web_Client_host_name_or_IP:9443/vsphere-client.
n In subsequent sessions, you can start the vSphere Web Client from the Windows Start menu, by
selecting Programs > VMware > VMware vSphere Web Client > vSphere Web Client.
