vSphere client: Error 1406. Could not write value Productlanguage to key …

Posted on 1 August, 2011 by Martin

Got this nice notification trying to install the vSphere Client 4.1 on Server 2008 R2.

To fix this, you have to delete the following Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.

And press retry. The Sphere Client 4.1 setup will finish without errors.

ICT-Freak.nl pointed me in the right direction !

I had the same problem with a Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit system and the vSphere Client 4.1. I searched many hours in the internet for a solution. This site helped me. Thank you very much!

Very usefull, but in my case the VMware, Inc. was directly in Software.

Thank you very much.
