I have a development environment set up in VMWare - host OS is Windows 7 x64, guest OS is Windows Server 2008 r2. Browser used by both OS is IE 9 32 bit, addons enabled, intranet comptability mode disabled. Whenever i invoke an action in the Sharepoint 2010-s UI, that has a dependency on the Office 2010 client app, for example editing a libraries document, prior to opening the document, the office crashes:

enter image description here

However editing and creating documents on the Guest's SPWeb (?) works fine on the Host OS, which has the exact same version of office installed, 32 bit Office 2010 Plus.

I have already enabled the WebClient windows service on the Guest along with different IE and Office settings (disabled Protected View).

Have you tried patching Office 2010 SP1 or greater? – Trevor Seward May 19 '12 at 23:36
@TrevorSeward Yeah, but the update reports an error saying, i don't have the expected office installed. Link: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26622 – John Nevermore May 20 '12 at 13:19
Does Windows Update give you the update for Office? If not, just reinstall Office and try again. – Trevor Seward May 20 '12 at 16:38

Try deleting OfficeFileCache folder which is located at : c:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\14.0\OfficeFileCache

You may need to enable the Desktop Experience Windows feature on the server OS.
