This Package Contains an Exempted Check
Not All Tests Have Passed
This package was rejected on 29 Aug 2018. The reviewer gep13 has listed the following reason(s):

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

The 4.8.0 release of Horizon Client for Windows includes a new command-line installation property called AUTO_UPDATE_ENABLED. This property determines whether the online update feature is enabled in Horizon Client for Windows. A value of 1 enables the feature. A value of 0 disables the feature.
The 4.8 release of Horizon Client for Windows contains the following new features:
Support for Windows 10, Windows 8 and 8.1, and Windows 7
Unmatched performance
- The adaptive capabilities of the PCoIP display protocol and the VMware Blast display protocol are optimized to deliver the best user experience, even over low-bandwidth and high-latency connections. Your remote desktops and published applications are fast and responsive, regardless of where you are.
Simple connectivity
- Horizon Client for Windows is tightly integrated with VMware Horizon 6 and Horizon 7 for simple setup and connectivity.
Secure from any location
- At your desk or away from the office, your data is delivered securely to you wherever you are. SSL/TLS encryption is always used to protect user credentials, and enhanced certificate checking is performed on the client device. Horizon Client supports optional RADIUS and RSA SecurID authentication. You can also install Horizon Client so that it runs in FIPS mode.
Windows 10 1803 SAC (Spring Creators Update) support
- You can install Horizon Client for Windows on a client device that is running Windows 10 1803 SAC (Spring Creators Update).
VMware Blast selects the optimal transport automatically
- In this release, Horizon Client for Windows senses current network conditions and chooses one or more transports to provide the best user experience automatically. In previous Horizon Client versions, you had to select a network condition option to provide the best user experience with VMware Blast.
VMware Horizon Performance Tracker support
- If VMware Horizon Performance Tracker is installed in a remote desktop, or is configured as a published application, you use Horizon Client for Windows to connect to the remote desktop and run it in the remote desktop, or connect to and run the published application. For information about VMware Horizon Performance Tracker, see the VMware Horizon 7 Administration document for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.5 or later.
Automatic Internet protocol selection
- When you perform a custom installation of Horizon Client for Windows, either from the command line or by using the installation wizard, you can enable the automatic selection of the Internet protocol. With automatic selection, Horizon Client for Windows checks the current network and connects over IPv4 or IPv6 automatically.
Only list smart card certificates
*You can enable the VMware Horizon Client Configuration "Display only smart card certificates during login" group policy setting to show only smart card certificates in the certificate selection dialog box during smart card authentication. When this setting is disabled, all types of certificates are listed in the certificate selection dialog box. This setting is disabled by default.Using desktop shortcuts created by the server
- A Horizon administrator can configure desktop shortcuts for certain remote desktops and published applications. If you are entitled to a remote desktop or published application that has a desktop shortcut, Horizon Client for Windows can place the shortcut on the client system's desktop when you connect to the server. This feature requires a VMware Horizon 7 version 7.5 or later server.
Simple Device Orientation (SDO) sensor redirection
- Remote desktops and published applications rotate automatically when Horizon Client for Windows is installed on tablet, such as a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. Horizon Agent 7.5 or later must be installed on the virtual desktop or RDS host, and the SDO Sensor Redirection setup option must be selected during installation.
Files associations support in nested mode
- You can now open local files with published applications in nested mode.
OpenSSL 1.0.2o support
- The OpenSSL library is updated to version openssl-1.0.2o.
This package has no dependencies.

vmware-horizon-client has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Hi,
Is it possible to change the testing environment from win2012r2x64 (Windows Server 2012 R2 x64) to a Desktop version of Windows (Windows 7, 8 or 10). According to the release note for this version (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Windows/4.8/rn/horizon-client-windows-48-release-notes.html) it is only supported for Windows 10, Windows 8 and 8.1, and Windows 7.
Kind regards,
Medalibi

Hi,
Is it possible to get extra log files from the automated testing server. I am very interested to get the log file for the horizon installation. It is where the script failed.
Regards,
Medalibi
Auto Verification Change - Verification tests have been set to rerun.

For future reference, the complete installation log is linked in the email that you would have been sent, i.e. here:
https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/72f8cd26c994d92addce1b3493749c81
That is the complete log from installing the application. Does this not have enough information for you? If not, we would recommend testing on your own copy of the testing environment, however, don't apply any Windows Updates, or anything else, as this will not be a like for like test.
We keep this testing environment as a bear minimum installation of the Operating System, in order to catch any unknown dependencies.
Windos (maintainer) on 24 Aug 2018 10:53:00 +00:00:
The result of the automated testing has been the same since version 4.5.0 of this package. The install terminates with exit code -2147024873.
I can't replicate this behavior in any environment other than the chocolatey test lab; which is more or less why I'd personally given up on trying to maintain this package.
I've deployed brand new instances of Windows 7, Windows 10, Server 2012 R2 and Server 2016 (directly from ISOs downloaded from VLSC) and installed all versions of this package without issue.
No, I hadn't run updates on these test machine (ok, in the interest of seeing if I could make it fail, I did install updates in a couple of cases and it still worked.)
Sorry if any of the above sounds "pissy", I truly don't mean it like that. It's just frustrating that I've spent many, many, hours on a package that only fails in one environment and that environment happens to the the one blocking the package from being approved.

Hello,
I have responded in the Google Group with my answer, as I was able to include screenshots there, which I can't do here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/chocolatey/l-w3ErXtvtw/Sb-Om6rzAAAJ
The short version, your package is missing a dependency, which would allow your package to install correctly on the testing environment.
gep13 (reviewer) on 29 Aug 2018 09:31:05 +00:00:
Given that 4.8.1 is released, and this one hasn't been changed, I am going to go ahead and reject it. Let me know if you want to add the dependency to this package also and get it through moderation.
Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.
