USB Redirect driver...

I have searched the world over and can not find the "USB redirect driver" I have users in virtual desktops needing printers and hand scanners and cannot find the usb redirct driver to install on both sides. I know this is simple but driving me crazy...

Thanks.

The stand alone client is downloadable from the website. If you are on a trial or own you should see a download from the VMware View Client in your software list.

I'm not sure what you are looking for. The USB redirect installs as part of the VMware View Agent installation onto the virtual machine. As far as I know this also installs onto the client machine as well. I had read somewhere at one point that the USB redirect was NOT supported if you installed the VMware View Client from the broker but if you run the Client install program it will allow you to redirect USB devices. This is applicable for Windows based access points. If you are running a thin client of some kind please let us know which one as that would be helpful.

Yes I did the install from the web page. Where does VMware hide the exe I can install?

Thanks.
