WTS03: Files in Per-User Locations
AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Application Manager
This test is included in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
WTS03 checks whether any of the files in the package are configured to be installed to per-user locations. In general, Windows Remote Desktop Services require files 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]') has a per-user destination '[PATH_NAME]'. This value affects deployment of this package in a terminal server environment.
Background
WTS03 examines a Windows Installer package for compatibility with Windows Remote Desktop Services. Windows Remote Desktop Services generally require files to be installed for all users, rather than on a per-user basis. If the package contains one or more files that are configured to be installed to per-user locations, WTS03 fails.
Resolution
Automatic Fix (WTSFIX)
WTSFIX03 automatically clears the key path entry for the identified resource to ensure that Windows Installer repair mode is not invoked.
