2. In Windows 8, run dotnetfx35.exe – it will prompt you to download and install .NET 2.0. I let it download and install the files it needed.
   Next, run vjredist64.exe (Assuming Windows 8 x64)
3. Right-Click VMware-viclient.exe, choose “Properties”
   On the “Compatibility” tab, check the “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and choose “Windows 7″ from the list. Click “Ok”
4. Run the VMware-viclient installer as you normally would.
