Amazon Workspaces Client

What works

Installation with .msi file Login Remote desktop Windows sound effects

What does not

Remote-local and local-remote clipboard operations are flaky... for me, they work for about 10 minutes and then don't anymore. Others seem to have different experiences.

Workarounds

What was not tested

MFA (previously reported to work) Full-screen (previously reported to work) Printing (previously reported to fail) Music

Hardware tested

Additional Comments

These instructions are still needed: Remove the file: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Amazon Web Services, Inc/Amazon WorkSpaces/vchan_plugins/pcoip_vchan_remoteprintclient.dll

To install from the CLI use the msi installer. Example: wine msiexec /i Amazon+WorkSpaces.msi 

Remove the following file to stop crashes on progarm start: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Amazon Web Services, Inc/Amazon WorkSpaces/vchan_plugins/pcoip_vchan_remoteprintclient.dll

In some cases you may need to install install VB Runtime 2013 this can be done with winetricks `winetricks vcrun2013`

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x7e8a8389).

Means  you need to delete the file: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Amazon Web Services, Inc/Amazon WorkSpaces/vchan_plugins/pcoip_vchan_remoteprintclient.dll

This is the remote print client that does not work in wine. Workspaces will not be able to print but it will run.
