RD Web Client Install Failing Server 2016

Question

Hi All,

I have a RDS Environment Setup for testing and I am looking into testing the new RD Web Client for Windows Server 2016 and 2019. I have all current updates installed and ready to go.

The server that I am testing has all RDS Roles installed and Configured;

• RD Web Access
• RD Gateway
• Connection Broker
• RD Session Host

When ever I attempt to runt he command Install-RDWebClientPackage I get the shown in the screen shot.

I am using PowerShell v7 when running the command as the Build in Windows PowerShell is not able to run the commands to import the modules required.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Regards,

Hi Guys,

After a bit more persistence I managed to get this working. The commands for for installing RDWebClient can't be run using PowerShell v7 the must be run using the Windows PowerShell command Window.

I had moved over to the PowerShell v7 as the Module PowerShellGet wouldn't update, I managed to fix this by doing the following;

Remove-Module PackageManager, PowerShellGet

Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force

PowerShellGet Current version is 2.2.5

Now that I am using the normal Windows PowerShell Terminal everything is working as expected.

I hope this helps someone else on here looking for the same thing.

Regards,
Tom
