VMware View Client 4.x freeze
When you try to connect to a VMware View Connection broker or VMware View Secure server with a VMware View Client 4.x _(4.0 or 4.5) running Windows 7, the client freeze without any option to cancel or close the window. The only option is to kill the process.
On the application log, a lot of errors or warnings appear about VMware View, like :
-
Program C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe, thread 0x160C encountered a machine exception code 0xC0000005 (no DbgHelp.dll loaded)
-
backtrace[00] frame 0x0728f670 IP 0x764120fa params 0x7650ac78 0x1 0x1 0x765bb194 ??? [no module data]
VMware View error log
This issue appear since Microsoft publish two new updates. To solve this issue, you have to uninstall these two Microsoft Windows 7 update :
- KB 2482017
- KB 2467023
Then restart the computer.
VMware indicate that they will provide a fix to correct this issue. But it isn't available yet.

Thanks…
Another working (and in my opinion more comfortable) workaround (without uninstalling updates) is to start the process in the “Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)”-compatibility mode (probably other work too).
