Add VMRC to Launcher

Hi Ryan,

Adding this to the launcher is very straight forward. This new session type will be released along with the 2019.2 release in the next 3-4 weeks.

Best regards,

Is there an estimated release date for this?

Hi Ryan,

I sent you a private message about this, but I re-read your message and I can confirm that your web users won't be able to open VMRC without first installing it. We don't have our own implementation of this, we use the pre-installed VMRC program to start the web interface. I'll look into it to see if we can implement it ourself, but I'd be surprised to see this feature (VMRC without pre-installation) come out soon. We will support it in the Launcher at the same level as RDM though!

Regards,

Hi again Ryan,

I just checked with my team and we _do_ have a way to open VMRC sessions without installing VMRC! I didn't understand the tool correctly. We will release it soon. Thanks for your patience!

Regards,

I see the new version of launcher was released this week but doesn't seem to have this functionality. Any idea on it's completion?

Hi Ryan, We should have it in the next release (a couple of weeks). Thanks for you patience.

Regards,

Hi Philippe,

Any word on the release date?

Hi Ryan, the integration in the launcher is ready. The only thing missing now is the support for launching it from DPS or HUB. I discussed with the DPS product manager here at Devolutions and the support for VMRC in DPS won't be available until the 2020.1 release. For now, if you need VMRC, I'd suggest you use Remote Desktop Manager. I'll do my best to make sure it's available a s soon as possible in DPS.

Thanks for your understanding, regards,

Hi,

I'm the PO of DPS, and I want to clarify that editing the VMRC entry is not in scope at this point. This entry type shows its full history (from 8 years on...) and it uses polymorphism to support from the old VMWare viewer up to the lastest VMRC, even the interim in 2016 where VMware had said that we had to use the web based viewer and their community protested...

I want to be able to expose the entry to the launcher, but in order to edit it you would need to go through RDM, at least for the short term.

Best regards,
