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/edwin/.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.

Exiting with status '14'.

I think it has something to do with the way it tries to connect to the VM with rdp.

because if i use the cmd: xfreerdp3 /v:127.0.0.1 /u:docker /sec:tls /bpp:16(It works flawlessly)

PS: i use docker.

Hello, I had a similar issue with the WinApps installer failing to establish a Remote Desktop connection to the Windows VM inside the Docker container (note that my instance of FreeRDP was the Flatpak version, 3.9.0, at the time of writing):

I also tried the command you wrote for connecting via RDP, and it did work on my end as well.

Interestingly, what fixed the problem for me was setting a password for my "Docker" account, and then changing the WinApps config file to match. After doing those steps, WinApps was able to successfully connect via RDP and complete the install process.

xsy420 · 2024-10-26T18:43:48Z

I have found why and already sent the issue at FreeRDP/FreeRDP#10784 and notice at dockur/windows#837
freerdp group has also a pull request, once they reviewed it, It will be fixed

AkechiShiro · 2024-11-01T22:58:46Z

Thanks @xsy420, seems FreeRDP 3.9.0 introduced a regression where empty password does not login through RDP with Windows 11, this will be fixed in the next release I guess.

Workaround is to : set a password on the Docker account.

mattcbro · 2024-11-24T23:46:02Z

The work around is not working for me. My vm hangs while it's trying to login, even with a set password, but calling freerdp directly from the command line works fine.

mattcbro · 2024-11-25T04:28:58Z

Well I got the installer to go through without creating errors. To do this, within the ~/.config/winapps directory I copied setup.sh to . and copied inquirer.sh to the install subdirectory. You get those files from the source zipfile. I then ran setup.sh using source setup.sh rather than bash setup.sh. Apparently it wanted some assigned variables in the global scope rather than in the local bash scope. The script probably needs to be debugged a little better.

You also have to give the Docker user in the windows vm a password and then set it accordingly in winapps.conf

AkechiShiro · 2024-11-25T10:34:25Z

Just for reference I'm linking the issue upstream here :

Cannot login windows11 with empty password FreeRDP/FreeRDP#10784
[NOTICE] Cannot use empty password for container if you are using FreeRDP v3.9.0 dockur/windows#837
