Trying the UCS Platform emulator Lite (as supplied with the UCS reference guide book). I get the UCSM login screen and type config/config (username/password) and i get the error in the attachment. I've tried this from 3 different browsers (I.E.7, FireFox 3.5.5 and Chrome 5.0.375.70) using java 1.6.0_15 and I've tried it using vmware workstation (7) and vmware player (3.0.0 build-197124).
 
I've tried NAT, Host and Bridged Networking yet I get the HTTP error 400 no matter which browser or vmware product i use. Now it might be due to my corporate laptop, but everything else seems right and it still gives the HTTP 400 error.
 
Is there anything obvious i should try?

It turns out it was a problem with the version of java on my laptop. Once i'd cleared out the many versions and installed a single version it worked.

 
Ronald,
 
if you view the page with the LAUNCH button via Firefox or Chrome (NOT IExplorer), please click on Model Browser - do you see anything?  Do you see the grey form only, or do you also see the 3-colored table underneath it? 
 
Are you running on ESX or on VMPlayer  (or anything else) ?  Please give us some details.

 
well, IE should work just fine to LAUNCH the UI.  The fact that it doesn't work (but Firefox works) may be something in your Java configuration/installation (specifically, the javaws stuff). However, the one thing that we do support on Firefox/Chrome and do not (yet) support on IE is the Model Browser - this is a "debug" tool for those who are developing XML API-based solutions and would like to see the runtime state of Managed Objects (MOs) in our MO database.
