VMware Remote Console

How to install the VMware Remote Console (VMRC), which opens the console of your virtual machine from the vSphere Client.
Edit me

In order to access VMs through the vSphere Client, you should install the VMware Remote Console (VMRC). The VMRC replaces the VMware Client Integration Plugin (CIP), a NPAPI based plugin that provided enhanced functionality to the older vSphere Web Client. While the VMware Remote Console is installed as a standalone application, it must be launched from the vSphere Client.
