Run 32-bit Remote Desktop (RDP) on Windows 64-bit
- Create a .bat file with the following three lines:
@echo off
set WinDir=
start C:\Windows\SysWow64\mstsc.exe
- The environment variable WinDir will only be deleted locally and temporarily, for the session that starts mstsc.exe and not for the entire system.
- This prevents the 32-bit version from finding the 64-bit version and starting it, which is what would happen otherwise.
RemoteApps
- To use the 32-bit version of mstsc.exe with TS RemoteApps, do the following:
- Backup the original file:
C:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe - Replace it with:
C:\Windows\SysWow64\mstsc.exe
