Cloud Architect Video Podcast on how to install the VMWare HTML5. Great video but i think ill stick with the. It’s official – VMware is retiring the “thick client” By philvirtual on May 18, 2016 in VMWare The next version of vSphere will be released without the C# thick client. The VUM component is the main reason all our admins still use the thick client. Few capabilities are missing on vSphere 5.1, and yet one of the critical components from maintenance requires the thick client (that everyone is more familiar with). Openload the predator.

I'm trying to convert a virtual disk from thin to thick provisioning by following instructions in https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-E8F50BEC-F575-4AB1-BC77-D9A13CDBDCF7.html

However, when I right click the .vmdk in the datastore browser, I can see options 'Delete', 'Download', 'Move' and 'Copy' but no 'Inflate'.

The reason you only see those options is because you're on the web UI, the instructions you posted are for VSphere. I don't think you can do what you want to do without vSphere. Disk options are quite limited on the Web UI (I don't use vSphere either).
