How to setup Tessitura RemoteApp on Server 2012 R2 RDS

Hi everyone.  I want to test RDS on Server 2012 R2 and have the server ready but can't figure out how to setup Tessitura as a RemoteApp.  I've done this on 2008 R2 but it's different with 2012 R2.

In Server 2012 I got into Server Manager > Remote Desktop Services > Collections > My Collection (which is named RDS 2012R2) and under REMOTEAPP PROGRAMS I choose to "Publish Remote Programs".  I click Add, just like I would in 2008 R2,

Now we're doing things a little weird, so to speak, in order to have Tessitura run as a RemoteApp.  We use Kix scripts to launch Tessitura, so in the "Select RemoteApp programs" window I click Add, browse to the wkix32.exe file and click Next.

Now at this point in 2008 R2 I can edit the wkix32.exe RemoteApp so that it will say it's actually Tessitura, I can change the icon to the Tessitura icon, I can change the alias so that it runs the Kix script that has the same name, etc.  However, I can't figure out how to do this in 2012 R2 RDS.

So for those of you using Tessitura via 2012 R2 RDS, how are you configuring it as a RemoteApp?  I don't care if we have to do something completely different so long as it works.

  • Hi Dmitirj.  You wouldn’t mind sharing with the Tessitura Network how it’s all setup, would you?  8)

    Hi Jon,

    We have used .net to create windows application that just runs a batch file with Tessitura settings.

    Kind regards,

    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\tessitura\startup\test.cmd")
    Application.Exit

    ' add these two lines of code to a vb.net form application change path to Tessitura bat file
    ' add ; to the end for a c# project as needed

      

    You will need free compiler or Microsoft ones.
