HowTo / Notes

HOWTO: Make RDP-Client work under wine
To get it running under Wine you need a Windows 7 pc available.

To make Remote Desktop Connection 7 work under Wine, you will need to copy four files from your Windows system.
  1. mstc.exe, Folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\
  2. mstscax.dll, Folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\
  3. mstsc.exe.mui, Folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\_locale_
  4. mstscax.dll.mui, Folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\_locale_
The folder called C:\WINDOWS\system32\ you will find in the Windows-System.
The files from the C:\WINDOWS\system32\_locale_ are necessary for a localized GUI, e.g. it talks to you in your language. This files reside in a subfolder of C:\WINDOWS\system32\. The _locale_ is a place marker for your locale language settings.

As an example take this for Argentina:
search for C:\WINDOWS\system32\es-ar\

Copy the above four files to some temporary directory on your Linux machine.

On your Linux machine create a new Wine Windows XP Bottle. To choose the right windows version use winecfg from the commandline. There will be a dropdown to set the right windows version. Set it to Windows XP.

Use your linux file manager to Browse to the Wine bottle C: Drive subdirectories that match those above.

Copy all 4 files to their respective matching subdirectory in Wine.

After you have done that I would reboot the bottle.

Finally to start Remote Desktop Client v7 you will need to have wine execute the Windows RDC 7 executable (mstsc.exe).

Open a terminal and at the command prompt execute the following (make sure you are using the same "bottle":

wine mstsc.exe

You should then see the RDC 7 client app appear prompting you for Server Address and Login.
