vshpare 6.7 install plugin

Hi All

hope anyone could help on this one , we are trying to install a plugin on the vshpare 6.7 without any success

i could find this link which points that the flex and web client are going to be deprecated

Goodbye vSphere Client for Windows (C#) – Hello HTML5 - VMware vSphere Blog

but they are still available on the UI

when trying to install the plugin with the api calling the RegisterExtension function ( available on the VimService)

i could find some related logs on the VC

does anyone has experienced the same issue when trying to install plugins on 6.7 ?

anyone knows it installing plugins on 6.7 is available ?

thanks

I think still 6.7 is BETA and not yet GA. Once the GA is released, concerned vendors/partners should release the respective compatible plugins for the webclient

thanks,

i think my question wasn't clear enough.

our company has created a plugin that is currently works with other vSphare versions

the installation of the plugin is done via the vmware api.

when trying to install the plugin on 6.7 versoin , the installation is done without any exceptions

still although the vSphare logs shows that the plugin was successfully verified ,  plugin is not added

do you believe it is still related the BETA ?

thanks
