It say "The VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed or could not be found" after installed VMware Remote Console Plug-in!

Question

Dears,
I have installed VMware server 2.0.2 in Windows 7, everything is working but one thing not...
When I control my VM by VMware remote console, sometime It(VMware Infrastructure Web Access) tell me "The VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed or could not be found" even I have installed it many time.
What can I do?

Answer 1

The following workaround works on Windows for any browser.
(1) install the plug in.  Never mind that it does not work.
(2) locate the executable vmware-vmrc.exe, this is typically in the following directory
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in"
(3) Obtain the virtual machine ID from the links for the VM in the web UI.  e.g. the following is machine ID 192
https://servername:8333/ui/#{e:"VirtualMachine|192",w:{t:true,i:0}}
In IE you get these by selecting the link and then looking at its properties using right click.
If you are really keen and want to write something more sophisticated the VM ID codes seem to be in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Server\hostd\vmInventory.xml
(4) you can then create a COMMAND file or shortcut on your desktop (for the example above).
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in\vmware-vmrc.exe" -h localhost:8333 -M 192
When you use this link you will need to log in using the webui username and password, and it will start the VM if it is not running.
(5) I use the following batch file (I am old school), as an icon on my desktop.  I have not tried, but it should work from ANO desktop provided the VRMC is installed on the client and the script uses the correct IP for the host.
Hope that helps someone and saves them the time I have just spent.
