com.vmware.vmrc.InstallHelper
VMware Remote Console (VMRC) InstallHelper is a launchDaemon component that supports the installation and operation of VMware Remote Console, a client application for macOS that allows users to remotely connect to and interact with virtual machine consoles managed by VMware vSphere infrastructure. The InstallHelper manages system-level initialization and maintenance tasks required for VMRC functionality. VMRC itself is used by IT professionals, system administrators, and virtualization engineers to access and manage virtual machines running on VMware ESXi hosts or vCenter servers from a Mac desktop.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a system helper component embedded within VMware Remote Console, not a standalone app. It is updated automatically whenever you update the parent application. To ensure you have the latest version with native Apple Silicon support, open VMware Remote Console and check for updates through the application menu (Help → Check for Updates or similar). VMware Remote Console has shipped a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build since version 12.0 (released around late 2020), so if you are running an older version, updating the parent VMRC application will bring in the native build and eliminate reliance on Rosetta 2 for this component. You can also download the latest VMRC installer directly from the Broadcom support portal (VMware is now owned by Broadcom) and reinstall to refresh all embedded components including this helper. Do not attempt to update or manipulate the helper directly — updating VMware Remote Console itself is all that is needed.
