WTS05: Per-User Environment Variables

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager

Edition:This test is included in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

WTS05 checks whether any environment variables in the package are configured to be installed for the current user. In general, Windows Remote Desktop Services require environment settings to be installed for all users.

Note:If your package is not targeting the Windows Remote Desktop Services environment, you do not need to run this ACE.

Severity

Warning

Message

The component '[COMPONENT]' in package '[PACKAGE_NAME]' has a per-user Environment Setting '[NAME]'('[VALUE]'). This value affects deployment of this package in a terminal server environment.

Background

WTS05 examines a Windows Installer package for compatibility with Windows Remote Desktop Services. Windows Remote Desktop Services generally require environment variables to be installed for all users, rather than on a per-user basis. If the package contains one or more environment variables that are configured to be installed per user, WTS05 fails.

Resolution

Manual Fix

Duplicate the per-user Environment table entries and conditionalize the component that contains these new Environment table entries to be installed only if the ALLUSERS property is set to 1 for all users.
