VMware View is a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure system allowing thin/zero clients to connect to a desktop Virtual Machine in a datacenter.

At this time, the VMware View client for Linux appears to have licensing that prohibits redistribution (but would allow use with an organization).

• Extract tarball
• Move files to /usr/local
• Add .desktop and tce.installed script
• chown
• pack
