Error installing Vmware Horizon Client

I am working with a customer who is unable to install the VMware Horizon Client for Windows. I have tried version 4.7 and 4.6.1. I have attached the error logs. There are a number of errors in each file but I am unable to determine what is really causing the failure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The client is Windows 10 Pro version 1709.

Based on the logs, it seems its failing on the HTML5 MMR package.

You can try installed the client without HTML5 MMR package. During installation click Customize installation and uncheck HTML 5 MMR

Or

try extracting the .exe and running the html5 msi installer manually to see if it gives you more information:

     VMware-Horizon-Client-4.7.0-7395453.exe /x

     cd %temp%

     Find the directory it extracted too.

    cd %temp%/directoryextract/AttachedContainer/

     rename VMware Horizon HTML5 MMR (x64) to VMware Horizon HTML5 MMR (x64).msi

     run install with log and review the log

          msiexec.exe /i VMware Horizon HTML5 MMR (x64).msi /lv html5mmr.log

Does the user currently have a older version of the View Client or Horizon Client installed? Any other VMware products installed?

I've been working on this for several sessions with the person having the issue

we found out that it was due to AOL Tech Fortress (a malware blocker).

AOL Tech Fortress for AOL Members: Help Stop Computer Threats

I guess it was flagging the install as malware attemp.t

Going to settings remove program, and picking uninstall AOL Fortress  allowed the

horizon client to install with no issues.

I've never seen this before... was interesting, but glad its solved, version 5.10 is now working

Hi iAmDinesh

Please try installing agent silently using below command:

VMware-Horizon-Client-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL

Let me know if this works or not.

I was having the same problems. I tried all the different solutions that people recommended. What ended up working for me is a little unorthodox, lol.

When you click install watch for the icon to pop up on the desktop screen. As soon as it pops up double click it. Then click the hamburger in the right corner and check for updates.

Click install and restart. This worked for me after struggling with it for 4 months!
