VMWare Remote Plugin and IE8

Internet Explorer 8 on a 64 bit Windows 7 doesn't get along well with VMWare Server. If you seeing this message:
Remote console plugin is not installed or could not be found

No matter how many times you install and remove the plugin, then you're likely problem is that you're using 64 bit Internet Explorer 8 and installing 32 bit plugin.

As far as I can tell, there is no 64 bit plugin with vmware server, luckily you can run 32 bit Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 64 bit. It should be installed. You might have to look through the start menu.

At least, until the plugin is usable with Firefox or Chrome.
