Windows Xp, 7.7.3.0 host won't install.

Hi Keith,

Could you check this file and see if there are any installation/update errors there:

C:\ProgramData\Remote Utilities\install.log
Note: the ProgramData folder is hidden by default in Windows.

Windows Xp, 7.7.3.0 host won't install.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your patience. We’ve identified the root cause of the issue—it turned out to be a problem with the installer.

We’ll address this in an upcoming update, which typically follows the main release within a few weeks, after we collect additional bug reports.

Unlike some of our major competitors, we’re committed to keeping Windows XP support for as long as possible.

Current workaround:

For Viewer: You can use the portable Viewer, which does not require installation.

For Host: You can stop the Host service and manually copy the program files into the Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\ folder from another machine (non-XP) where the new Host was successfully installed.

We hope this helps. Thank you again for your continued support!

Hi Frank,

Thanks for letting us know.

Your new version is ok. It was a typo in the file which supplies the text to the yellow stripe message. We've fixed it now and the yellow stripe should show the correct version (may take some time to propagate the change across cloud servers).

message on the remote computer

Hi Frank,

If it is a commercial license, the window should go away. Could you also check the Host settings -> Interface tab. What can you see there?

message on the remote computer

Hello Frank,

Are you connecting from a Viewer registered with a commercial license? Or is it a free license?

Password doesnt save?

Hello Robert-Jan,

Thank you for your message.

It should work as expected. However, it’s possible that at some point an incorrect password was saved for the connection. When the saved password doesn’t match the one set on the Host, the program will continue to prompt you for a password each time you start a session.

To fix this:

1. Right-click on the connection in your address book.
2. Select Properties.
3. Go to the Security section.
4. Update the saved password with the correct one.

That should resolve the issue. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

PLUS License - 2 concurrent, how many controlled devices

Hello Mick,

Thank you for your interest.

Yes, the Plus license still allows for up to 50 controlled devices. This limit is fixed and does not change based on the number of users.

The parameter that defines the number of allowed controlled devices is the license type—Starter, Plus, or Pro. If you need to control more than 50 devices, you would need to upgrade to the Pro license, which allows an unlimited number of controlled devices.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Is the update mandatory?

Hi Fabrizio,

Thank you for your message.

You can use older versions for as long as you want. Updates/upgrades aren't mandatory.

Windows to Linux File transfer not working

Hi Philip,

Thank you for your message.

Currently, the File Transfer mode isn't available in Remote Utilities for Linux yet, but we are going to add it by the final RU for Linux release.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
