FAQ
Q: Is the vSphere Client backward compatible?
A: Yes and No. You have to install a client for each version (4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5) you want to connect to. Within these versions, the client is backward compatible.
At the end, you will nevertheless see a single vSphere Client at your desktop. It's a shortcut to the Launcher which will start the correct version after you've entered vCenter connection information.

  1. thank you, Is a little bit tedious have to install each version if you are a field technician who do virtual stuff but with this information I can do a one-time script to install all needed versions.
