VDI not working saying 'You do not have permission to change host files'

Problem : VDI or VmWare client is not able to connect says 'You don not have permission to change host files. Talk to your system administrator'. (Or go F yourself)

Platform: Windows 7 , 64 bit.

Reason: This problem occurs when you have a installed java version higher than 6.update 10. running on 64 bit Win 7 OS along with one functionality enabled.that is ' enable next generation' java plugin. This is a bug of Juniper Networks.

Solution:  Navigate to where your Java/JRE (64 bit) is installed and go to the bin folder,  mostly it would be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

click on javacpl.exe file and open it.

Java console panel would be opened. Go to the advanced tab, expand the Java Plugin section and uncheck the 'Enable next Generation java Plugin  thing.

If the 'Enable next Generation ..thing is greyed out or disabled follow this link.

Thats it you are done. Login to the VDI again and it would work. If it does'nt restart.
