Description Manfred Knick 2013-04-04 08:14:55 UTC

Exploiting VMware vSphere 5.1, one gets directed to download the ClientIntegrationPlugin.
Download of VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-5.1.0.x86_64.bundle succeeds,
but calling it via sudo or as root both fail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the bundle
2.a. (as user) sudo .sh VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-5.1.0.x86_64.bundle
2.b. or (as root) .sh VMware-ClientIntegrationPlugin-5.1.0.x86_64.bundle
3. check /var/log/vmware-installer
Actual Results:  
None.
Same even when adding "--console" to avoid graphical interfaces.

Expected Results:  
Install the plugin.

with "--console" added: 
--> /var/log/vmware-installer:

Installer running.
