VMware ESXi & USB over Network

We are using the eval version of USB over Network 4.7 on a VMware ESXi 4.1 host. The USB device being shared is a Aladdin Knowledge Token JC. The guest virtual machine (Windows 2008 Standard SP2 x86) does connect to the shared USB dongle (Windows 7 SP1 x86) but while installing the Aladdin client software (PKIClient 5.1 SP1) we will get the following error message: "There appears to be a problem with the Smart Card Resource Manager configuration on this computer.\nThe installation will be completed, but may not work correctly.\nPlease contact your System Administrator to solve the problem." and after install the Aladdin software will not recognise the token.

Dear Customer,
 
As we do not officially support ESXi we do not guarantee 100% workability of our solutions on ESXi system.
But we'd like to investigate the issue closely. Please describe in detail the following:
- How did you install USB over Network on your ESXi machine? Please describe it as detailed as possible.
- How did you configured USB over Network on ESXi machine? (changes made in configuration file
- Describe your network topology.  
- Have you tried previous 4.5.3 version?
 
Thanks in advance.

1. Did the install like in "normal" environment, no errors during install, no tweaks after install.
 
2. Default configuration, no changes made to configuration file, I have no problems connecting to USB over Network Server, works fine.
 
3. Both USB over Network Server and Client are on the same subnet.
 
4. Haven't tried older version yet, where can I download 4.5.3 version?
