VMware View Client and Microsoft Internet Explorer 9

Introduction

We have discovered that the very latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE9) ’breaks’ the VMware client we are currently using to provide the web based access to our Virtual Desktop Connection. Microsoft are currently pushing out IE9 as a update within its auomatic updating service.

Please follow the instructions provided below if you have updated to IE9 and you are experiencing difficulity with the Virtual Desktop Connection.

Please note that the new version of VMware View Client will work with any version of Internet Explorer so you can update your client software even if you have not installed IE9 or had it forced upon your system by Microsoft.
