Severity

Error

Message

The component '[COMPONENT_NAME]' in package '[PACKAGE_NAME]'('[VERSION]') has a per-user ODBC Data Source '[NAME]'('[VALUE]'). This value affects deployment of this package in a terminal server environment.

Background

WTS04 examines a Windows Installer package for compatibility with Windows Remote Desktop Services. Windows Remote Desktop Services generally require ODBC data source entries to be installed for all users, rather than on a per-user basis. If the package contains one or more ODBC data source entries that are configured to be installed to per-user locations, WTS04 fails.

Resolution

Automatic Fix (WTSFIX)

WTSFIX04 automatically clears the key path entry for the identified resource to ensure that Windows Installer repair mode is not invoked.
