Solution, which is discribed here VMware KB: The vpxd process crashes after upgrading to VMware vCenter Server 5.5 didn't works for me. I've tried to restart STS, set service account, etc. No success. Also tried to reinstall all from scratch - same error after vCenter restart

I have vSphere 5.5b installed on Windows 2012R2
