< b > RDP Wrapper Library by Stas'M< / b > < br >
< br >
The goal of this project is to enable Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions on reduced functionality systems for home usage.< br >
< br >
RDP Wrapper works as a layer between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched. Also this method is very strong against Windows Update.< br >

Attention:< br >
It's recommended to have original termsrv.dll file with the RDP Wrapper installation. If you have modified it before with other patchers, it may become unstable and crash in any moment.< br >
< br >
Information:< br >
• Source code is available, so you can build it on your own< br >
• RDP Wrapper does not patch termsrv.dll, it loads termsrv with different parameters< br >
• RDPWInst and RDPChecker can be redistributed without development folder and batch files< br >
• RDPWInst can be used for unattended installation / deployment< br >
• Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003 will not be supported< br >
< br >
Porting to other platforms:< br >
• < b > ARM< / b > for Windows RT (see links below)< br >
• < b > IA-64< / b > for Itanium-based Windows Server? < i > Well, I have no idea< / i > :)< br >
< br >

Building the binaries:< br >
• < b > x86 Delphi version< / b > can be built with < i > Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010< / i > < br >
• < b > x86/x64 C++ version< / b > can be built with < i > Microsoft Visual Studio 2013< / i > < br >
