Winscribe DD - Infinity Foot Controls (VEC-USB) no go in TS
Problem: Winscribe 32 bit Terminal Services add-in won’t run under 64 bit.
On Windows 64bit, there is a 32 bit version of Remote Desktop Connection in %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64, running this mstsc.exe will launch the 32 bit process but it will instantly launch the 64-bit mstsc.exe from System32 and shut itself down.
This makes it impossible to run Remote Desktop Connection 32 without modification.
Solution: Rename the 64-bit mstsc.exe from System32 to prevent it from replacing the 32-bit process.
Method1: Run 64 Bit Terminal Services.bat file on affected PC. must be run elevated, in admin mode. File is attached, rename it to .bat before running.
Method2: When renaming mstsc.exe you’ll get a “You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file” error. To get past this error, you can take Ownership of the file and give yourself full permissions:
-
Browse to %SystemRoot%\System32
-
Right click mstsc.exe and choose Properties
-
Go to the Security tab
-
Click Advanced
-
Go to the Owner tab

-

-
Click OK
-
Click OK
-
A Windows Security warning will come up; click Yes to proceed
-
Click OK Now, rename the file mstsc.exe to something like mstsc.exe.bak
Then, you can launch mstsc.exe from %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64 and you will have 32-bit Remote Desktop Connection running.
