WTS02: Registry Entries in Per-User Locations
AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Application Manager
This test is included in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
WTS02 checks for any registry entries that are installed to per-user specific locations. In general, Windows Remote Desktop Services require registry entries to be installed for all users.
If your package is not targeting the Windows Remote Desktop Services environment, you do not need to run this ACE.

Severity
Error
Message
The component [COMPONENT_NAME] in package [PACKAGE_NAME]('[VERSION]') contains a per-user registry key [KEY_NAME] with KeyPath [KEYPATH_VALUE]. This value affects deployment of this package in a terminal server environment.
Background
WTS02 examines a Windows Installer package for compatibility with Windows Remote Desktop Services. Windows Remote Desktop Services generally require registry entries to be installed for all users, rather than on a per-user basis. If the package contains registry entries that are configured to be installed to per-user locations, WTS02 fails.
Resolution
Automatic Fix (WTSFIX)
WTSFIX02 automatically clears the key path entry for the identified resource to ensure that Windows Installer repair mode is not invoked.
