[Bug]: VMware applications fail due to changes to product API

[SpecterShell]

VMware Horizon Client is available on Omnissa.

https://customerconnect.omnissa.com/downloads/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_horizon_clients/horizon_8

[aaronparker]

I'll be removing these applications from Evergreen for the time being. It's likely the API used to find downloads is not going to be available on the Broadcom site and changes at Omnissa are still on-going

[DanGough]

I've reversed the auto update API call, but the downloads are in .tar format and they are cut down in that there are no VMware Tools ISOs included.

(Invoke-Download is from my PsDownload, so install that or change the code to run the above)
