Severity

Error

Message

The component [COMPONENT_NAME] in package [PACKAGE_NAME]('[VERSION]') contains a per-user registry key [KEY_NAME] with KeyPath [KEYPATH_VALUE]. This value affects deployment of this package in a terminal server environment.

Background

WTS02 examines a Windows Installer package for compatibility with Windows Remote Desktop Services. Windows Remote Desktop Services generally require registry entries to be installed for all users, rather than on a per-user basis. If the package contains registry entries that are configured to be installed to per-user locations, WTS02 fails.

Resolution

Automatic Fix (WTSFIX)

WTSFIX02 automatically clears the key path entry for the identified resource to ensure that Windows Installer repair mode is not invoked.
