Today my vSphere client (5.x) randomly stopped being able to connect to anything. It gives an error: The type initializer for 'VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.ClientsXml' threw an exception.
I tried to uninstall and re-install with no luck. I did notice that if I log into my computer under another account (both accounts are local admin) that the client works just fine. Has anyone seen this before, or does anyone know how to correct this?
