How to Install the Terminal Services ActiveX Client


1. Download the component from Microsoft's website located at microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/rdwebconn.mspx. On the right side of the screen, select your language and press the 'Go' button. Click the 'Install' button when prompted.
2. Select a directory for the location of the files. A window prompts you for a directory path by asking 'Where would you like to place the sample web pages directory?' For this example, enter 'C:\Windows\Web\TSWeb.' Click the 'OK' button.
3. Click the 'Yes' button when the application prompts you to create the new directory.
4. Verify the application was installed by clicking the Windows 'Start' button, select 'Settings' and choose 'Control Panel' from the menu.
5. Double-click the 'Add/Remove Programs' icon. In the installed list of applications, Terminal Services (Remote Desktop for Windows XP users) should be in the list of programs.
