We noticed some time ago that the update of the VMWare Horizon Client (Mware-Horizon-Client-2203-8.5.0-19586897.x64) fails. The installer can be downloaded from this site: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/en/downloads/details?downloadGroup=CART23FQ1_LIN64_2203&productId=1027&rPId=87916

We worked hard to find a fix for this, but after some time we noticed that the reason for the failure lies in the installer (script) to rely on a specific version of python (2.x). On our systems, python was installed in version 3.x and that caused the installation to fail.

The fix for this is rather simple:

in a terminal, just type sudo apt install python2

Then you can retry the installation, it will succeed. As POP!OS is Ubuntu based that might also work for recent Ubuntu versions.

We hope this helps!
