Hello,

Do you have any update on vSphere client on Linux?
Does it work with wine?

Hi Aaron,

thanks for your guide, but in my environment I have also selected vcrun2005 "MS Visual C++ 2005 libraries (mfc80,msvcp80,msvcr80)" in winetricks installer.

Hi,

With ESXi, I changed proxy.xml with that suggestions, exception one line:

<_type>vim.ProxyService.NamedPipeServiceSpec
httpsOnly
/var/run/vmware/proxy-vpxa
/vpxa

I rebooted the host.
When I try to access vic in linux, I receive a "An SSL error occurred".
Any idea? "httpsOnly" must be changed too?

I am thinking there must be a easier way – maybe a scripted QEMU to load a scaled down version of Windows, that launches the client.

Can you send me the full error output? What version of Wine are you
running? And what distro / kernel version do you have?

Thanks,
Aaron

Step 5 kills my VirtualCenter. Whenever I make the change in proxy.xml and I restart the VirtualCenter service, VirtualCenter will not restart and prompt me with a generic error. The only way to fix it is to reinstall VirtualCenter.
