Workspace - check for installed View client

When a user logs in to the VMware Workspace Portal and starts a View desktop or published application, an error is displayed when the Horizon client is not installed on the system. The error:

- The webpage cannot be displayed.

The url starts with: vmware-view://

I know this normally should start the Horizon client, but when this is not installed, I would rather see the message that there is no client installed and not this error. Not very user friendly. Can the Workspace portal check for installed clients (Horizon client and Workspace for Windows agent).

This would be a feature request, but it does not perform this function at this time, it only tries to hand the information off to a client that exists or not, so I guess you could say that by it not being to do this and it prompting for this it is checking and telling you that you need the client in order to proceed.
