VMware Horizon Client Install Error on Windows 10 x64

Hello,

I have a problem installing VMware horizon client 5.3 and 4.10 in my ThinkPC after i formatted my computer which has the latest update.

I cannot understand why i can't install, i'll provide the logs saved in %temp% folder.

I have tried unselecting support for Skype, HTML and Teams, changing folder directory, installing VMware 5.3 and 4.10 and didn't work.

I hope someone can help me to figure out how to fix this problem, the objective is to remotly connect to a VDI.

Best regards,

LC.

Hi,

you tried to check the compatibility of the version (build) of Windows 10. because between the versions there are substantial differences.

I also get the installation failed, no matter what options I select.  We tried to push an update to our campus users and the installation failed, leaving their Horizon Clients in an impacted state where it could not be used.

Hi HieloLight,

Can you check on this link Horizon Client 'Install Failed' | PeteNetLive whether it can be resolved?

For me, it still does not install and rolls back when I just try to run the x64 version of Horizon Client 5.3.0.  I have not had this problem with previous versions, only with this one.

I used Verbose logging for the MSI install and at the very end of the log file is this:

I noticed these same error messages in previous VMWare install logs, but they mean nothing to me.  Probably only VMWare can decode them.

Hi,

In my case the issue was because the client installer (Ver 5.3) needed to add an entry to the HOSTS file and did not have permissions to do so. The desktop was running windows 10 1909 .

The entries below were in the install log file -

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 Entering custom action VMAddViewLocalHostEntryToHostsFile

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 --- VMAddViewLocalHostEntryToHostsFile() : Adding view-localhost entry to the 'etc\hosts' file.

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 File exists: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts"

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 Searching for '127.0.0.1 view-localhost # view localhost server' in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts"

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 File exists: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts"

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 Pattern not found!

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 Appending text to file: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts"

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 ERROR: Failed to open file: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts": 13

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 ERROR: Failed writing to file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts".

vdmInstUtil: 03/10/20 22:05:11 Exiting custom action VMAddViewLocalHostEntryToHostsFile

CustomAction VM_AddViewLocalHostEntryToHostsFile returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

After investigating further I found that our AV software (Webroot) was blocking applications from editing the HOSTS file. disabling the setting while the install runs FIXED the issue.

I removed my host file while testing something before. Re-adding my host file fixed my issue. Thanks all

In my case only disabling "Lock HOSTS file" in my FireWall which is ZoneAlarm helps .   
For anyone with ZoneAlarm disabling the FireWall and even Exit will not help. only changing this setting helped.
Zone Alarm setting  

I hope that can help other.

for me - the tip that worked was I installed the latest VisualC++ runtime library and it installed! I tried disabling all security - editing hosts file - admin rights... all the other tips - this worked for me!

+1 for the Visual C++ runtime fix.  

EDIT: Another time it was the hosts file that was the fix, and I suspect for us that may be a more common fix.  I overlooked that suggestion for a while but caught it today.  It worked like a champ when nothing else did.

I have tried all the suggestions below and nothing has worked.  I can't install any version of VMWare Horizon Client on Windows 10 x64.  I can't find any port information in the registry.  I have disabled the antivirus and installed the latest VisualC++.  Nothing works, it still fails.  Below is the log file from the latest try.  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi dotan_shai,

The disabling of "Lock HOSTS file" solved the problem for me!!!!!! I was unable to install version 8.2 (2103) on my Windows 10 desktop, and this solution fixed the problem that perplexed a bunch of IT folks. YOU ARE AMAZING.

Thank you very much!

Your tip helped me! I just opened the properties of my "hosts" file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) and found out that it is locked (Read Only). I just unchecked the Read Only and the installation went through after that.
