Subject: Replace a bogus URL provided in a vmcheck.c error message.
X-Git-Tag: stable-11.2.0~33
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e5c40274f3f09d95084dafc9608123bf59f80b7;p=thirdparty%2Fopen-vm-tools.git

Replace a bogus URL provided in a vmcheck.c error message.

Previously the URL "http://www.vmware.com/info?id=99" appeared in
an error message in the vmware_checkvm binary to refer to VMware Tools
updating information that may change from one release to the next.
That information is now available from the single VMware Tools URL"
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/index.html.
