VMware Client Integration Plugin 6.0 AppStack

[jeffrobinson85]

Having an issue in App Volumes 2.11 trying to capture an AppStack with the VMware Client Integration Plugin 6.0. After installing the VMware Client Integration Plugin Internet Explorer doesn't detect that it is installed. It still prompts to download at the vSphere log in page. Installing the VMware Client Integration Plugin 5.5 is working fine we are just seeing this with 6.0. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks

Jeff

So we are on vSphere 6.0 Update 2 and are still seeing the issue. Since we are on Update 2 the Client Integration installer should be updated as well? If we install the Client Integration plug in on our gold image it works fine. We would like to get it working in an App Stack.

Thanks

‌I have the client integration plugin working within an appstack, though you'll need to do some workaround. See here: Appstack - Capturing VMware Client Integration Plug-in 5.6/6.0 does not work

Also, the client integration plugin sometimes doesn't work if the changes to the hosts file doesn't get reflected after attach. You might want to add the following entry to the hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) on the base image you're using for desktop deployment.
