I know it actually never worked at all for a while on 7 (64bit) without hacking around a bit , but with 4.0u1 update the client does install and work fine.
But I now find that its pretty slow to refresh its screens and flashes quite a lot when compared to it running on XP.
Why is this? , I am hoping VMware have a new native client soon as my eyes cant take much more!

fantastic blog. I’m very glad I stumbled onto it through yahoo I’m going to need to add another one to the list
I get the same on WIndows 7 32bit. The VSphere client is very sluggish compared to running XP.
However, turning off Desktop composition for the app makes it MUCH faster. See here how:

Very useful tip
Thanks,
I’ll repeat it here
1. Navigate to the executable or shortcut for the program you wish to disable desktop composition using Explorer.
2. Right click on it and select Properties.
3. Select the Compatibility tab and check Disable desktop composition, then click on OK.
Excellent tip! I was thinking maybe it was loading slowly due to running ESXi on an old and slow USB flash drive.
