Is it possible to run a Thinapped Viewclient inside a View VM ?

Is it possible to run a Thinapped View-client inside a View VM ?

I know that installing View-client inside a View VM that has the View-agent installed is not allowed.

problem: if the View desktop in which I want to start the View-Thinapp uses Persona and  roaming profiles the Thinapp hangs when trying to connect to the connection broker

Try redirecting your ThinApp sandbox to somewhere outside the user persona/profile.  Try the user home drive or similar.  I've seen this work.

Just out of curiosity, are you using different protocols or the same protocol?  Example, are you using PCoIP to get to the first desktop and then PCoIP from that desktop to the second or are you using RDP to the second desktop instead?

Just curious what you've tested in this regards.

For the first connection we use PCoIP from a Thinclient. That is a given start condition and should not be changed.

From inside that View VM we tried both PCoIP and RDP where PCoIP fails always. RDP works unless we use Persona with roaming profiles.
We tried to redirect the sandbox with the same results

Purpose: allow users to occasionally launch VMs they are not entitled for - as we use Thinclients we can not run 2 sessions side by side but have to launch the second session from inside the first  one
