MSI - RDS Server Incompatibility #1698

Open wise-io opened 2 years ago

wise-io commented 2 years ago

The ZeroTier One MSI installer does not complete on Windows Servers with the RDS role installed. An error message from the Windows Installer Coordinator will display with the following:

Please wait while the application is preparing for the first use.

This is due to an incompatibility with the Windows Installer Coordinator. It can be resolved by enabling the following group policy setting:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Application Compatibility > Turn off Windows Installer RDS Compatibility

Ideally, modifying group policy in order to complete the install should not be necessary. Please add compatibility for RDS servers.
