I see before that when Vista was bought up you said you'd look at it when RC1 was about. Guess what was released yesturday. Well I for one would love to be able to use it on my Vista machine, so when does the debuging start ?
Right now it loads fine but when you try to connect to any RDP client you get the following error -Unable to get the window handle for the 'AxMsRdpClient' control. Windowless ActiveX controls are not supported.

Yep this RDP error seems to be the only issue on Vista. It's caused by some changes in Microsoft's RDP ActiveX. We are downloading the RC1 build right now and will be installing it next week. I'll post here next week with updates regarding the RDP issue.

Thank you

I have been checking this Thread for almost two weeks now. I was desperately looking to see if I can use VNC with VISTA. Main motive behind this is the new RDP 6.0 which enables multi monitor and higher resolution support. VISTA is now on RC1 which means there will be no major changes on the OS except the bug fixes. I think it is very important for VNC users to start testing VISTA as our next operating system. I hope the importance of this issue is getting higher because I am stuck with XP Pro x64 and I can not continue testing the VISTA.

| I do understand importance of Vista compatibility, but this week we were busy fixing bugs that higher on the priority list since, they affect all users, and hence more important to fix. Another reason for the Vista fix delay is because Visual Studio 2005, which is buggy as hell, doesn't really work well on Vista yet. So we are waiting for VS 2005 SP1, which if not delayed again, should be released by the end of September and supposed to fix Vista compatibility issues. By the way, we will be adding support for new RDP 6.0 features. Also Microsoft introduces some new exciting API in Vista, that allows to view the same desktop by several users, so we will be evaluating it and if possible adding support for it too.

I think it is fair to let you guys have the fixes done. I hope VS sp1 solves the problems and we can at least get a working VNC Manager for VISTA with ONLY current features. Then we can expect this exciting new features to be added.

As far as I know VNC Manager works fine on VISTA except the RDP 6.0 Client Part. Even it is still a problem and will only be fixed by Developers, I found a way to use VNC Manager with RDP connections. It is not as convenient as native support on VNC but it may let you to use VISTA and VNC until a new build with the fixes avaliable. I added an external tool (mstsc.exe) which is the RDP 6.0 client installed in VISTA. I set the arguments (/v $server_ip) /console /h:1200 /w:1600). Now I can right click on a server entry and choose the external tool to connect my RDP clients. If you want to customize the connection settings you can do it by changing the arguments. You can get the avaliable arguments by typing mstsc -? on command prompt.I hope this will help...

Thanks god they finally released SP1 Beta for Visual Studio 2005, life is so much better now!
Other news is that two days of your lives had been lost trying to fix the RDP bug. It appears that the problem is actually caused by a bug in the Microsoft’s RDP ActiveX viewer under Vista. We can reproduce this problem easily with a sample application, which fails under Vista, but works on other OSes. A bug report had been submitted, now we are waiting for a reply from Microsoft first, since we really don’t want to implement some ugly hack to workaround this bug.
