Screenshot of 6.0 running with win32 environment

I managed to get to the login screen, I can type server address, username and
password but when I hit the Login button this message appears.

Now there's a known bug on the VMware side stating that this bug is caused by a
misinterpretation of some character inside the config (or config filename) and
it crashes.

This is also mentioned in VMware's knowledge base:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1038260

I tried searching for the locations and mentioned filenames but couldn't find
any.

Furthermore, there's an option to set the server and username automatically by
editing VpxClient.exe.config and setting these values, this caused the error
message to appear sooner than before, now it happens even before I'm hitting
Login right when the application starts.

I'm guessing that if all the configuration files where in place or I had access
to the logs (I tried enabling them but so far I couldn't find them) I'll
probably be able to show some more insights about this issue.
