NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Enter your internal repository url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2)

4. Choose your deployment method:


choco upgrade vmware-horizon-client -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade vmware-horizon-client -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

The 5.4.1 release of Horizon Client for Windows contains the following changes:

* Fixes an issue that blocks connections to older versions of Unified Access Gateway. This issue is specific to Horizon Client for Windows installations that use the dual IPv4/IPv6 setting.
* Fixes an issue with SAML authentication when Workspace ONE mode is enabled on the Connection Server instance.
---

The 5.4.0 release of Horizon Client for Windows contains the following new features:

* Two-factor authentication after remote session timeout
Beginning with Horizon 7 version 7.12, an administrator can configure two-factor authentication to occur after a remote session times out. For more information, see the VMware Horizon Console Administration document.
* OPSWAT integration support
You can use OPSWAT integration with Horizon Client for Windows. This feature requires Unified Access Gateway 3.9 or later. For more information, see OPSWAT Integration Requirements.
* Enhancements to the selective monitor feature for published applications
You can now select the monitors on which to display published application windows if you have two or more monitors. Previously, this feature required three or more monitors.
* Enhancements to the Real-Time Audio-Video feature with multiple device redirection
If a remote desktop supports multiple devices with the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, selecting a specific microphone in Horizon Client (Settings > Real-Time Audio-Video > Preferred microphone) redirects only that microphone and the selected preferred webcam to the remote desktop. You can select All to redirect all the available microphones and webcams to the remote desktop. For more information, see Select a Preferred Webcam or Microphone on a Windows Client System.
* Changes to the useExisting URI query and a new group policy setting
The default value of the useExisting URI query is changed from true to false. In addition, a new client group policy setting, Use existing client instance when connect to same server, is added. For more information, see Syntax for Creating vmware-view URIs and Scripting Definition Settings for Client GPOs.
