Q: How do I create a RemoteApp for Hyper-V connection?

A: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 natively support RemoteApp for Hyper-V. Earlier OSs require first an update (the links to which you can find here).

Once installed, enable RemoteApp for Hyper-V on the computer where the application is installed by changing the REG_DWORD value from 0 to 1 for the registry key HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionTerminal ServerTSAppAllowListfDisabledAllowList.

Connecting the user to the RemoteApp application requires first creating an RDP file using the Remote Desktop Client. Create a file with the appropriate settings and save the file. Then open the file and manually add (or edit) the following lines in a text editor:

remoteapplicationmode:i:1
alternate shell:s:rdpinit.exe
RemoteApplicationName:s:\{appName\}
RemoteApplicationProgram:s:\{appPath\}
DisableRemoteAppCapsCheck:i:1
Prompt for Credentials on Client:i:1
loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://vmresource.1.\{poolID\}

Replace \{appName\} with the name of the application and \{appPath\} with the path to its primary executable. The last line above is only required when a pool of desktops has been created in the RD Connection Manager. If this RDP file will connect to the pool, replace \{poolID\} with the ID of the pool you created, otherwise omit the line.
