So, I need to install software on a couple servers which don’t exist. They are virtual: VMWare ESX. I can see and login to the web site. However, its frustrating to consistently get a working console. I get a partial page with “Error on page.” Going to the error reveals:<\/p>\n

Browser#ResponseReceived(): invalid content type text\/html (status 200) while processing vmNavigatorXml.do<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I have tried so far.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Firefox 2.x is unsupported. I tried it; it didn’t work.<\/li>\n
  2. So I tried IE6. That worked fine. Over a week later it doesn’t. Oh…kay…<\/li>\n
  3. Figured iehttpheaders could have been the culprit. It was the last thing changed, so I removed it. Didn’t help.<\/li>\n
  4. I tried Firefox 2.x again. No good.<\/li>\n
  5. I tried Netscape 7.2. No good.<\/li>\n
  6. Called workstation support, works for him, I removed IE6 and added it back. It worked! For a day.<\/li>\n
  7. So I removed IE6 again and put it back. It didn’t help.<\/li>\n
  8. Checked McAfee Buffer Overflow Protection. Still disabled.<\/li>\n
  9. So I installed IE7. Still doesn’t completely load the page.<\/li>\n
  10. So, I tried PortableApps Firefox 1.0.8 (which is on the supported list). No dice.<\/li>\n
  11. I noticed I have multiple version of Java, I removed all but the next to latest, Java 1.6.0. No good.<\/li>\n
  12. I removed all the versions of Java. No help.<\/li>\n
  13. Figured out there is a VMWare plugin.<\/li>\n
  14. Disabled the plugin in IE7. Nothing.<\/li>\n
  15. Found where the plugin is installed. Uninstalled it. Now when I visit, I don’t get a request to install it.<\/li>\n
  16. So I don’t have the plugin. Nor can I install it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For you Apple Switchers who read this. Macs are not on the supported list. Though, Linux is!<\/p>\n

    I’ve wasted most of two afternoons on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
