Severity

Error

Message

The component '[COMPONENT_NAME]' in package '[PACKAGE_NAME]'('[VERSION]') has a per-user destination '[PATH_NAME]'. This value affects deployment of this package in a terminal server environment.

Background

WTS03 examines a Windows Installer package for compatibility with Windows Remote Desktop Services. Windows Remote Desktop Services generally require files to be installed for all users, rather than on a per-user basis. If the package contains one or more files that are configured to be installed to per-user locations, WTS03 fails.

Resolution

Automatic Fix (WTSFIX)

WTSFIX03 automatically clears the key path entry for the identified resource to ensure that Windows Installer repair mode is not invoked.
