Raw Blame History

RDP Wrapper Library

Maintained fork by @sjackson0109 — based on the original work by Stas'M / binarymaster.

The goal of this project is to enable Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions on reduced functionality systems for home usage.

RDP Wrapper works as a layer between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched. Also this method is very strong against Windows Update.

Historical screenshots (Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 from the original Stas'M project) are archived at: https://web.archive.org/web/2015*/http://stascorp.com/images/rdpwrap/*

Screenshots

Screenshots are captured on Windows 11 after a successful install.
Source files live in docs/images/ — see the capture guide if you want to contribute updated screenshots.

RDPConf — configuration	RDPCheck — supported	RDPCheck — warning

MSI Installer — welcome	MSI Installer — complete

This solution was inspired by Windows Product Policy Editor, big thanks to kost :)

— binarymaster

Attention:

It's recommended to have original termsrv.dll file with the RDP Wrapper installation. If you have modified it before with other patchers, it may become unstable and crash in any moment.

Information:

Source code is available, so you can build it on your own
RDP Wrapper does not patch termsrv.dll, it loads termsrv with different parameters
RDPWInst and RDPChecker can be redistributed without development folder and batch files
RDPWInst can be used for unattended installation / deployment
Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003 will not be supported

Key features:

RDP host server on any Windows edition beginning from Vista through Windows 11
Console and remote sessions at the same time
Using the same user simultaneously for local and remote logon (see configuration app)
Up to 15 concurrent sessions (the actual limitation depends on your hardware and OS version)
Console and RDP session shadowing (using Task Manager in Windows 7 and lower, and Remote Desktop Connection in Windows 8 and higher)
Full multi-monitor support for RDP host
Automatic INI updates — the installer fetches the latest rdpwrap.ini directly from GitHub Releases, published automatically by CI/CD on every change
Auto-generation of offsets for unknown builds — if your termsrv.dll version is not yet in the INI, the installer downloads RDPWrapOffsetFinder and generates the missing section on-the-fly (inspired by sergiye/rdpWrapper)
...and if you find a new feature not listed here, tell us ;)

Porting to other platforms:

ARM for Windows RT (see links below)
IA-64 for Itanium-based Windows Server? Well, I have no idea :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I download the installer or binaries?

In the GitHub Releases section.

Is it legal to use this application?

There is no definitive answer, see this discussion.

The installer tries to access the Internet, is it normal behaviour?

Yes, it works in online mode by default. You may disable it by passing -i without the -o flag: RDPWInst_x64.exe -i.

What is online install mode?

Online install mode was introduced in version 1.6.1. When installing for the first time using this mode, the installer downloads the latest rdpwrap.ini from this repository's GitHub Releases — published automatically by CI/CD whenever msi/rdpwrap.ini is updated. If your termsrv.dll version is not yet listed in the downloaded INI, the installer will additionally download RDPWrapOffsetFinder and attempt to auto-generate the missing offsets on the spot.

What is INI file and why we need it?

INI file was introduced in version 1.5. It stores system configuration for RDP Wrapper — general wrapping settings, binary patch codes, and per build specific data. When new termsrv.dll build comes out, developer adds support for it by updating INI file in repository.

Config Tool reports version 1.5, but I installed higher version. What's the matter?

Beginning with version 1.5 the rdpwrap.dll is not updated anymore, since all settings are stored in INI file. Deal with it.

Config Tool shows [not supported] and RDP doesn't work. What can I do?

Make sure you're connected to the Internet and run RDPWInst_x64.exe -w from an Administrator command prompt. This will download the latest INI from GitHub Releases and, if your termsrv.dll version is still missing, will automatically run RDPWrapOffsetFinder to generate offsets for your specific build.

Update doesn't help, it still shows [not supported].

Check the issues section to see if your termsrv.dll build is mentioned. If not, please open a new issue with your exact build version (shown by the Config Tool). You can also run RDPWInst.exe -w from an Administrator command prompt to see the full output of the update and auto-generation steps.

Why RDPCheck doesn't allow to change resolution and other settings?

RDPCheck is a very simple application and only for testing purposes. You need to use Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe) if you want to customize the settings. You can use 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.2 address for loopback connection.

Known issues:

Beginning with Windows 8 on tablet PCs inactive sessions will be logged out by system - more info
Beginning with Windows 10 you can accidentally lock yourself from PC - more info
Beginning with the Creators Update for Windows 10 Home, RDP Wrapper will no longer work, claiming that the listener is [not listening] because of rfxvmt.dll is missing - more info, download links
Terminal Service does not start after installing some updates or "Access Denied" issue - #215, #101
RDP Wrapper does not work with RemoteFX enabled hosts - #127, #208, #216
RDP works, but termsrv.dll crashes on logon attempt - Windows Vista Starter RTM x86 (termsrv.dll 6.0.6000.16386)
If Terminal Services hangs at startup, try to add rdpwrap.dll to antivirus exclusions. Also try to isolate RDP Wrapper from other shared services by the command:
sc config TermService type= own
RDP Wrapper can be removed by AVG Free Antivirus and Norton Antivirus - first make sure you downloaded official release from GitHub, then add it to exclusions.

Change log:

2026.03.31

Repository housekeeping — removed six obsolete files: res/legacy.install.bat, res/clearres.bat, res/build_wxs.bat, res/RDPWInst.wxs (WiX v3.11 MSI, unmaintained), res/rdpwrap-ini-kb.txt (stale 2018 INI snapshot), and empty src-csharp/RDPWrap.Common/ stub directory
bin/install.bat, bin/uninstall.bat, bin/update.bat — rewritten with architecture detection; now invoke the correct RDPWInst_x64.exe / RDPWInst_x86.exe (previously called non-existent RDPWInst.exe); later removed in favour of the MSI installer
CI/CD: build-cpp.yml, build-csharp.yml, build-offsetfinder.yml — standalone release jobs removed; build-and-release.yml is now the sole release publisher, eliminating duplicate partial releases on tag pushes
build-csharp.yml runner harmonised to windows-2022; hardcoded signtool.exe SDK path replaced with glob-based discovery
build-and-release.yml — added embedded-resource staging step (copies built DLLs + INI into RDPWInst/Resources/ before dotnet publish, enabling offline bundled install); added SHA-256 audit log for third-party sergiye binaries; msi/rdpwrap-arm-kb.ini added to release assets
ARM64 support — Release|ARM64 added to src-x86-x64-Fusix/RDPWrap.vcxproj; build-cpp.yml and build-and-release.yml now build and ship rdpwrap_arm64.dll; build-csharp.yml and build-and-release.yml publish RDPWInst_arm64.exe, RDPConf_arm64.exe, RDPCheck_arm64.exe; Directory.Build.props adds arm64 to Platforms
WiX v5 MSI packaging — new msi/RDPWInst.wxs (WiX v5 schema v4, dual-arch, MajorUpgrade) and msi/RDPWInst.wixproj; replaces the deleted v3.11 artefacts; MSI build steps are now inlined into build-and-release.yml (a standalone build-msi.yml was created then removed as redundant)
Self-contained publish — build-and-release.yml produces *_x64_sc.exe, *_x86_sc.exe, *_arm64_sc.exe for all three C# tools and bundles them into RDPWrapper-SelfContained.zip; users without .NET 10 Desktop Runtime can use these
Version stamp automation — build-and-release.yml computes a yyyy.M.d stamp and passes -p:Version= to every dotnet publish call; Directory.Build.props documents the CI override pattern
Changelog automation — build-and-release.yml now includes a Generate changelog step that queries merged PRs since the previous release and embeds them in the GitHub Release body
Dependabot — .github/dependabot.yml added for github-actions and nuget ecosystems (weekly, Monday schedule)
Sergiye hash-pin scaffold — tools/sergiye-hashes.json created; build-and-release.yml validates downloaded rdpWrapper_*.exe hashes against this file when populated
Code-signing guide added — docs/CODE-SIGNING.md documents certificate acquisition, PFX export, base64 encoding, and GitHub secret upload; the signing step in build-and-release.yml and build-csharp.yml fires automatically once CODESIGN_CERT_BASE64 and CODESIGN_CERT_PASSWORD secrets are set
Sergiye hash pins live — tools/update-sergiye-hashes.ps1 automation script created; tools/sergiye-hashes.json populated with verified SHA-256 hashes for sergiye/rdpWrapper release 2.10; build-and-release.yml hash-verification step is now enforcing the pinned values
Screenshot infrastructure — docs/images/ directory and capture guide created; README restored with four-cell screenshot table using relative in-repo paths (PNG files pending first capture)
Submodule shallow-clone — shallow = true added to .gitmodules; docs/SUBMODULE-UPDATE.md documents check-out, update, and rollback procedures (RDPOffsetFinder is already pinned to v0.9)
tools/ reference added to docs/ — update-sergiye-hashes.ps1 is self-documenting via Get-Help; CODE-SIGNING.md, SUBMODULE-UPDATE.md, images/README.md added to docs/

2026.03.30

Full C# port complete — RDPWInst, RDPConf, RDPCheck, and shared library all ported from Delphi to C# / .NET 10; Delphi is no longer required to build
Obsolete Delphi source folders removed (src-installer/, src-rdpcheck/, src-rdpconfig/, src-x86-binarymaster/)
Shared library renamed from RDPWrap.Common/ to RDPWrap/ for a cleaner folder layout; namespace RDPWrap.Common preserved for source compatibility
llccd/RDPWrapOffsetFinder added as a git submodule at src-csharp/RDPOffsetFinder/ (including nested zydis → zycore submodules) — offset finder now built from source rather than fetching pre-built binaries
Pre-built binary cache (tools/RDPWrapOffsetFinder/) and update-finder-tools.yml workflow removed; build-and-release.yml now builds the offset finder directly from the submodule
New workflow build-offsetfinder.yml — builds RDPWrapOffsetFinder + Zydis.dll for x64 and Win32 from source on version tag push
New workflow build-csharp.yml — publishes self-contained single-file x64/x86 EXEs on version tag push; optional signtool.exe code-signing step wired to CODESIGN_CERT_BASE64 / CODESIGN_CERT_PASSWORD repository secrets
build-and-release.yml updated — checkout uses submodules: recursive; builds and bundles RDPWInst, RDPConf, RDPCheck, and RDPWrapOffsetFinder (all x64 + x86) alongside the existing DLL and INI assets
Author metadata (Simon Jackson / @sjackson0109, copyright, repository URL) embedded into all four C# assemblies via Directory.Build.props
src-csharp/Directory.Build.props targets net10.0-windows; x86 and x64 platforms; Nullable + ImplicitUsings enabled

2026.03.29

Fork maintained by @sjackson0109
INI source redirected from unmaintained stascorp upstream to this repository's GitHub Releases
CI/CD pipeline added — build-and-release.yml publishes rdpwrap.ini and the RDPWrapOffsetFinder tools as release assets on every INI change
CI/CD pipeline added — build-cpp.yml builds rdpwrap_x64.dll / rdpwrap_x86.dll via MSVC v143 (VS 2022) on version tag push
Auto-offset generation added to RDPWInst.dpr — on install (-i) and update (-w), if the running termsrv.dll version is absent from the INI the installer downloads RDPWrapOffsetFinder from release assets and appends the generated [x.x.xxxxx.xxxxx] section automatically; inspired by sergiye/rdpWrapper
New installer helpers: DownloadFileToDisk, INIHasSection, TryAutoGenerateOffsets
