Install the VMware Remote Console Plugin Manually When VCenter is Not Added

When VCenter is present in CC-SG, Internet Explorer prompts you to download the VMware remote console plugin automatically, and the plugin is retrieved from VCenter.

You may see this error message: "Failed to run vmware remote console plugin. Either the browser is not supported or you have a previous version of the console installed".

If you have not added VCenter, but only added a host, the plugin prompt does not appear. You must manually download the plugin from the web.

The plugin file name is "vmware-vmrc-win32-x86.exe". You may need to download a different plugin file for 64-bit OS.
