Thanks for the guide. I get the following errors when trying to run the install script in step 6:

Please view the log at /home/markus/.local/share/winapps/FreeRDP_Test_20241210_2039_325222462.log.
Troubleshooting Tips:
  - Ensure the user is logged out of Windows prior to initiating the WinApps installation.
  - Ensure the credentials within the WinApps configuration file are correct.
  - Utilise a new certificate by removing relevant certificate(s) in /home/markus/.config/freerdp/server.
  - If using 'libvirt', ensure the Windows VM is correctly named as specified within the README.
  - If using 'libvirt', ensure 'Remote Desktop' is enabled within the Windows VM.
  - If using 'libvirt', ensure you have merged 'RDPApps.reg' into the Windows VM's registry.
  - If using 'libvirt', try logging into and back out of the Windows VM within 'virt-manager' prior to initiating the WinApps installation.

I have a few questions:

• do I have to change anything in the config file from 6.?
• is the bew install script started with ./setup.sh?

Thanks a lot
Markus

Yes, you are correct. It has since been updated to ./setup.sh. For the error you are seeing, have you tried restarting Windows and then Sign out the user? I retested these steps on Linux Mint 22, and was able to reproduce your error and resolved it by restarting and signing out the user.

Hello Ryan,
