The Remote Desktop Connection Windows Installer Setup package is a tool for deploying the Remote Desktop Connection and associated files for specially configured connections and on computers running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 98, and Windows 95. You can also place the Client Windows Installer Setup package on a share for distribution through Group Policy to workstations running Windows Server 2003.
