Hi!

Where can I detect Citrix Metaframe XP server or Terminal Server in registry? I have to add several registry keys if one is installed..

Thanks, Heikki

If you insist on using the registry instead of the TerminalServices property: When TS is installed, several Performance Objects, MMC Snapins and Control Panel applets appear, you could check for these...

I suggest reconsider the application design: Terminal Services are services that can be installed or removed, even after your software was installed. This means, that when your application detects your registry keys, it only detects whether terminal services were present during Setup... (This applies to Windows 2000 Server and higher. In Windows NT 4 Terminal Server Edition, TS cannot be removed, it cannot be added to the other editions)
Why doesn't the application itself check the availability of Terminal Services?
