Seems to happen when clicking on edit settings on host, or just at random with the app open. Found this... On Experts Exchange.

FYI, Here is the solution:

As discussed here are the instructions:

Please copy the following:

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\2.5\libeay32.dll & C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\2.5\ssleay32.dll

To

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher

Please adjust the locations if the client is installed elsewhere.

Once you have copied these files to the proper locations, can you launch VI Client and see if you can access the console or edit the settings.
