VMWare VM consoles cause Unhandled Exception

[bmbeicke]

First, a correction. It is not an External Application. It is an HTTP/S connection. My apologies. The connection is to a url for my local VCenter server which loads the VSphere Web Client (I would give you the url but you wouldn't be able to connect). This connects successfully. It is when I attempt to launch the console window for a particular VM that the problem occurs. Initially the browser was set to Internet Explorer and when I launch the VM console a new tab appears. The tab name is Internet Explorer but the window remains blank. If I right click on the tab and select properties, I get the unhandled exception error message. The same one that appears in the log. Your mention of changing browsers is not something I had tried, so I reloaded Patch 7 and changed the default browser to Firefox for HTTP/S connections. Tried the same connection but to my surprise the VM console tab reported Internet Explorer and I got the blank window and exception. I then created a new connection to eliminate the possibility that the browser was set in the old connection. The result was the same as the first, however, the VM console tab reported Internet Explorer and the unhandled exception. I have returned to Patch 5 and everything is working normally again.

When I make an HTTP/S connection, is there a way to find out which browser is being used once I make the connection? I made the change in browser under the HTTP/S settings. Is that the correct location or did I get something wrong?
