ESXi remote consolle

[federicoc__]

Hello everyone,
on my pc I have VMWare Workstation installed and every time I go to launch the virtual console from ESXi the session is opened in Workstation instead of VMRC.
Does anyone know the way to make VMRC open instead of Workstation?

Thanks to all!!!

Try to edit the records in the registry on the Win workstation, or add:

HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\DefaultIcon -Value '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe",0'
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\vmrc\shell\open\command -Value '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\vmrc.exe" "%1"'

Hi, do you have the vmware remote console application installed on your computer or you are trying to use de web console.

You can try eliminate the vcenter in the vmware workstation application or the cookies of your web browser.

Kind regards
