How to: Upgrade to VMware View 4.5
Upgrade VMware View Client.
Last action is the VMware View Client upgrade. Again, no rocket science.
Accept the license agreement and continue.
Select the appropriate installation options.
Set the default Connection server.
Set the default behavior for ‘Log in as current user’.
Choose where to create VMware View Client shortcuts.
Install the VMware View client at the same location as the previous agent.
Finish the installer, reboot the PC/laptop/server and enjoy the VMware View 4.5 experience.
As you can see, the upgrade of VMware View is as simple as an initial installation. Besides that, it is much much easier than other VDI products from other non-specified vendors ;-).
Next, install the VMware View Client.

It would be nice if you would be more complete on your blogpost. First of all, VMware View 4.5 is supported on VI 3.5 Update 5 or vSphere 4.0 Update 2 or vSphere 4.1.
Also, when you have multiple connection servers and you are upgrading from 4.0 to 4.5, you need to disable the “VMware View Connection Server service” on all Connection servers.
Thanks Sven, I was fed the wrong information. I attended a VMware presentation stating VMware View support only on vSphere 4.1. I also added the second item
