"File not found" Error when running RDP on 64 bit Windows

Applies to: PacketTrap MSP


Symptom:
A user runs a studio on a 64-bit system and tries to run RDP (Remote Desktop) but a 'file not found' error occurs.

Workaround:
Copy mstsc.exe from C:\windows\system32 to C:\windows\syswow64 

Cause:
PacketTrap MSP Studio is a 32-bit application.  When running 32-bit applications on a 64-bit version of Windows, the ~windows\system32 folder is mapped to the ~windows\syswow64 folder in that application space.  Not all 64-bit versions of windows include the RDP executable mstc.exe in the syswow64 folder and the executable must be copied manually.
