Desktop Connector on Virtual Desktop (VMWare)

emcgann — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 18:17:12 GMT

Has anyone successfully gotten the Desktop Connector to work in a virtualized environment? All of our machines are virtual (VMWare). We need to get desktop connector to work so we can link in non-workshared Revit models and cad files on our BM 360/ACC Revit projects.

We have been unsuccessful in getting it to work and Autodesk's response is "it is not supported".

If anyone has gotten this to work successfully can you point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Do you know if you had to do anything special when installing on the parent to get it to work? @denis_borodin

Nothing special. You may try to install Google Drive desktop app or something similar. If it won't be working, you have some troubles in VM
