6.2.1 and Catia issue

VMMalley — Thu, 12 May 2016 03:32:27 GMT

We run Catia to open files from customers. Have a shared license server and everything works great on 5.2 Horizon View.

But, Im moving over to 6.2.1 and the new drivers for both Vmware tools and 6.2.1 agent dont allow Catia to even start up.

running PCoIP on Samsung Zero clients in a floating linked clone pool.

I think its a display driver issue maybe.

Is it possible to run my older agent and make it work on 6.2.1?

I read about TLS1.0 and making some regedits, so 6.2.1 can talk to older client/agent, but not sure if I want to go down this route.

Just throwing out some ideas and seeing if anybody else had simliar issues with 6.2.1.

Is there any error-message? Screenshot would be good.

VMware tools updated?

Version of Catia?

ok, thank you!

it was just a video driver issue with the 6.x.x versions of Horizon View.

I tested by uninstalling the svga driver only from manage pc.

Catia worked great.

Then I downloaded vmware tools 10.0.5 which had the fixed drivers and installed those.

8.1.5.3.3 driver fixes video driver issues with versions of 6.x.x Horizon view.
