Issue
Running Vista Workstation Pro and Remote on same PC
Environment
- Vista Workstation
- Vista Workstation Remote
Cause
It is possible to install and run both Vista Workstation Pro and Vista Workstation Remote on the same PC, but problems will be encountered when only one of the software packages is uninstalled. If both are currently installed and Workstation Remote is uninstalled then some critical files will be deleted which cause Vista Workstation Pro to stop working correctly.
Resolution
Since Vista Workstation Pro offers the same capability to log into a remote Vista Server the only time the user should install Vista Workstation Remote on a PC is if Vista Workstation Pro is not present.
When upgrading a PC that has Vista Workstation Remote installed on it to Vista Workstation Pro then Vista Workstation Remote should be uninstalled before installing Vista Workstation Pro.
