Good afternoon,
We have recently published our app as a remote application served by a terminal server. I'm looking to build an installation that will create the .rdp file along with a short cut to it. I can handle the shortcut, but can I create a .rdp file from within SetupBuilder?
Hello,
As far as I know, the RDP file structure is relatively simple. RDP files are plain text. The standard file consists of several lines; each has parameter name, type, and value, separated by a ":".
As I understand it, your have to digitally sign the .rdp file. Otherwise, you will get certificate errors.
So you have to create the RDP before you package the file into the setup.exe.
Does this help?

BTW, what you can do is to create a small "helper" .exe application with SetupBuilder to generate the ASCII file (Handle Text File Operation... script function). This can then create the RDP file for you. Call it as part of of your setup.exe generation process (using #run... compiler directive). Don't forget to code-sign the file before you package it.
If you need help with this, just let me know.
