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

[aaronparker]

What happened?

Recent changes to the VMware products and the move Omnissa have broken the available updates from the products API at: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/channel/public/api/v1.0/products/getProductsAtoZ

These will likely remain broken until the new Omnissa downloads site is live and working, and assuming it will also provide a similar API.

This affects:

• VMwareHorizonClient
• VMwareOSOptimizationTool
• VMwareSDWANClient
• VMwareWorkstationPlayer
• VMwareWorkstationPro

Version

2405.994

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
