VMware-Horizon-Client-2309-8.11.0-22660907 - Repair Issues

[TiJeanHimself]

Dear all,

After update to latest version of VMware Horizon Client for Windows, but at first try, after the weekend ( from 20231113 onwards ), VMware Horizon Client just does not start ( no entries in Task manager,…)

Redownloaded the latest installer VMware-Horizon-Client-2309-8.11.0-22660907.exe  

• Repair results in a Failure
• Uninstall results in a failure too

Downgrading to a lower version (with an older installer does not work either as the older installer is detecting a newer version on the windows-system.
So basically, I am stuck. 
I check the logs in C:\Users\...snip...\AppData\Local\Temp  (Or C:\ProgramData\VMware\logs )

And here is a snippet of it already:  

• From file ( VMware_Horizon_Client_20231115105416.log )

Any input on potential cause ? or where to dig further ?

Thanks
PeterS
