Well, 11.4 is no longer supported, but if you’re having an issue, perhaps
you could describe the issue you’re having so someone could actually help
you.

11.4 not any more supported by vmware or suse 11.4 not any more supported by u? 
Since 11.4 is supported by the Evergreen project (hats off to them- yea!) you have two choices: 1. there are packages for the last opensuse updated kernel here: Index of /update/11.4 2. Use the newer Evergreen kernel (based on SLED) along with the appropriate vmware packages: Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/Evergreen:/Maintenance:/Test:/11.4/standard You should look up information on the opensuse wikipages about Evergreen if you go this route. Btw, packman still maintains updated packages at: Index of /suse/openSUSE_11.4/ good luck 
Even 12.1 is going to be out of fashion from May 2013. Ref:- Lifetime - openSUSE Wiki

11.4 is not receiving maintenance updates from 11.4 repos. As others
said, evergreen/tumbleweed are the options for continued updates for
those.
I mention this (and I probably should have been clearer on this) because
if this VMware client requires libraries that are newer than the final
packages for 11.4 were, then you’ll not get it to work without going to
extraordinary lengths.
You’re better off upgrading to 12.1 -> 12.2 and then trying, or switching
to evergreen or tumbleweed to get the updates you need.
See the openSUSE product lifecycle pages for more info.

If it’s an exe, then WINE would be the option. It may be simply that
there isn’t a Linux client for vSphere.
You might ask in the VMware forums if there’s a Linux client for vSphere.

But you also have to post this:
because it applies to 11.4.
