Our application is sometimes installed via RDP and that has been working fine. Recently we added better graphics capabilty that requires better graphics hardware. So we have a test that runs to give us a score. I launch that test from an InstallScript CA. The problem is that the graphics test is done on the local machine (of course). Is there a way that I can tell from inside my CA that the install is being done via RDP so that I can put up a pop up message and skip this test? Many Thanks, Ron
There is a property set by MSI called RemoteTSAdmin that might help. However, it does not seem to be set in any installs I test through a Remote Desktop session (the property docs indicate a specific case that sets the property).
You may try calling a Win32 API such as IsOS (passing OS_TERMINALCLIENT) or GetSystemMetrics (passing SM_REMOTESESSION) from your script custom action to make this determination.
