IMPORTANT View Agent 6.1 and later releases do not support Windows XP and Windows Vista desktops.
View Agent 6.0.2 is the last View release that supports these guest operating systems. Customers who have
an extended support agreement with Microsoft for Windows XP and Vista, and an extended support
agreement with VMware for these guest operating systems, can deploy the View Agent 6.0.2 version of their
Windows XP and Vista desktops with later versions of View Connection Server.
CAUTION During an upgrade, View Composer provisioning and maintenance operations are not supported.
Operations such as provisioning and recomposing linked-clone desktops are not supported during the
transitional period when any View servers are still running the earlier version. You can successfully perform
these operations only when all instances of View Connection Server and View Composer have been
upgraded to the latest version.
For details about which versions of View are compatible with which versions of vCenter Server and ESXi,
see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix at
