Fixing "This desktop does not support the requested display protocol." error in VMWare View Client in OSX Mavericks

Earlier I couldn't connect to a Microsoft XP remote desktop via VMware View Client in OSX Mavericks even though I could connect fine from a Windows 7 machine (using VMware View Client).

I managed to fix it by installing "Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac" from here:

Note: If you google the error, you will get a wide variety of causes/triggers for the error. In my case not having this MS remote connector was the cause.
