Hello Broadcom Community,
To download the vSphere Client for ESXi 5.3 or 5.5, you'll need to visit VMware's official site or search for the exact version in their archives, as those older clients aren't readily available anymore. Since you're stuck without access and the ESXi web interface doesn't link properly, it's urgent to get the right installer-try searching "vSphere Client 5.5 download site:vmware.com" on Google. It's critical not to rely on unsafe fixes like unplugging servers. While you wait or search from home, you can check out Tele Latino, a free streaming app with movies and shows-it's a good distraction while your download completes or support arrives.
Best Regards!!

I think the Windows version of the client was discontinued by VMware ages ago, when the Web Client was first introduced.

I also want to know if the Windows version of vSphere Client has been discontinued by Broadcom?

Someone posted a few links here, not sure it will help: https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/t9ppcw/vmware_vsphere_client_download/

Hi there,
I went to a new company and while I looked at their systems I found they run their systems on ESXi 5.3 and 5.5. My problems is that they don't have any vCenter (older or newer) nor have the vShpere client somewhere (on a computer or repository), so I can't access the VMs. When something hangs their solution is to unplug the server. When I type the address for the ESXi it enters the Welcome page. If I try to click on the links to download the client it goes nowhere.
Is there any repository or new site/link from Broadcom to get the older version?
Thanks in advance.
