Installing vSphere Client 5.1 fails

After troubleshooting this issue I found that I required Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 Service Pack 1 installed (or the feature wasn’t turned on) before installing the client.

  • Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 Service Pack 1
  • Install the vSphere 5.1 client
