Platform layer for creating and updating layers issue

[Martin Poirier]

I'm trying to get a working platform layer so I can create a layer/layer version, add it to a manual View pool so I can connect to through an endpoint (Zero Client) The goal is to get the layer to 'see' a USB device and capture the correct driver.  Pre-installing the drivers don't help, windows needs the device to be visible so we can assign the correct driver.

Usually when I've done this, I'll have a platform layer  built with just VMware Tools, VMware Agent and domain joined, but everytime I use it, I get a configuration error in View.  Which is odd, since its the same platform layer i've used before.  I created a new version based of my latest OS layer and updated both Tools and Agent, but to no avail.

I've even taken my production Platform Layer (which I know works), created a version with the options for creating/updating layers and it has the same behaviour.

Is there something I'm missing from this process?  This used to work just fine.

 

Windows 10 VM's, VMware View 7.13, App Layering 23.9.0.1004

You should be creating a new packaging (not publishing) platform layer is that what you are doing? 

Is vmware tools not in your os layer? 

What is the error you see in View?

 

I havent done this in a while but i would expect it to work fine
