Software Requirements
Royal TS requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (Attention: Royal TS will not run with the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile!)
Windows Installer 3.1 or later is needed to install the MSI package. If your system is patched regularly, this is likely already installed on your system.
Known Issues
There's a memory leak in the WTS API which Royal TS is using to retrieve the remote session information. Microsoft has issued a patch which can be downloaded here.
