After installing VMware Server I get the following error when I try to access the VMware web-based server manager:
The VMware Infrastructure Web Service at "http://localhost:8222/sdk" is not responding

One of the most common causes for a virtual machine to become unresponsive is that the hard drive has run out of space. Without sufficient space for logging and IO, the virtual machine may be unable to continue to function. For more information, see Investigating operating system disk space (1004007).
Virtual machine may become unresponsive when the hard disk runs out of space. Guest Operating system on the Virtual machine may cause VM to appear unresponsive. The virtual machine disk controllers not set as per best practices. If your network contains a firewall between the ESXi/ESX host and the vSphere Client.
Whenever you finish using VMware Workstation just run the VMware_Workstation_Stop. bat file to shut down the VMware services.
Go into the services manager and check that the 'VMware Host Agent' service is running. If not, then start it and then try browsing to the site again.

Vmware Hostd was not working for me either.
However, in trying to start the service it stopped automatically. Typically when this happens it is because there is an error in your config.xml. C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Server\hostd\config.xml
In my case, checking the logs at: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Server
showed it erroring out after "Trying hostsvc".
Searching the config.xml for hostsvc showed references to several things, the first thing was the datastore. In checking my datastores.xml file: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Server\hostd\datastores.xml .
I found it full of all sorts of random characters instead of a properly formed XML document.
Renaming datastores.xml to datastorex.xml.bad allowed me to start the service. At which point I had to add back my datastores through the GUI.
Hopefully this will help someone else out. I did not find any other references in Google to this issue.
