Use Windows Registry Settings to Configure Flash Redirection
If you are a domain user who does not have Administrator privileges on the Active Directory server, you
can alternatively configure Flash Redirection by setting the appropriate values in Windows Registry keys on
the remote desktop.
You can use this procedure as an alternative to using GPO settings to configure Flash Redirection.
Prerequisites
n
Compile a list of the Web sites that will use this feature to redirect Flash content. This list is a white list,
meaning that only the URLs specified in this list will be able to use this feature.
n
Verify that Horizon Agent 7.0 or later is installed in the remote desktop, along with Flash Player and
Internet Explorer 9, 10, or 11. See “Install and Configure Flash Redirection,” on page 174.
n
Verify that you are using Horizon Client 4.0 or later, along with Flash Player ActiveX version.
Procedure
1 Use Horizon Client to access the remote desktop (agent machine).
2 Open the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) on the agent machine, navigate to the following
folder, and set FlashRedirection to 1:
HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware FlashMMR
NOTE This setting enables the Flash Redirection feature, but if this setting is disabled (set to 0) in
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware FlashMMR, it means Flash Redirection is disabled
domain-wide, and requires a domain administrator to enable it.
3 Navigate to the following folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware FlashMMR
If this folder does not already exist, create it.
4 In the VMware FlashMMR folder, create a sub-key named UrlWhiteList.
5 Right-click the UrlWhiteList key, select New > String Value, and for the name, enter the URL of a Web
site that will use the Flash Redirection feature.
You can use regular expressions. For example, you could specify https://*.google.com. Be sure to
leave the Data value empty.
6 Repeat the previous step to add additional URLs, and when you are finished, close the Registry Editor.
7 On the agent machine, open a command prompt as an Administrator and change directories to the
following directory:
%Program Files%\Common Files\VMware\Remote Experience
The mergeflashmmrwhitelist.vbs file is located in this directory.
8 Run the following command to ensure that the white list you configured is added to Internet Explorer's
trusted sites and compatibility view.
cscript mergeflashmmrwhitelist.vbs
