Not able to run vdesk in windows 11

[cruzer619]

opening new ticket as there are still issues with vdesk running.

ok ran beta3. running as standard user getting error:

C:\temp\Downloads\VDesk>vdesk.exe run -o 1 notepad.exe <3>VDesk.Commands.RunCommand[0] Parameter count mismatch. Windows version: 10.0.22621.2134

run as admin: no error but nothing happens.

You don't need to launch it as admin. The error is a mismatch between VirtualDesktop and vdesk. Sandly microsoft change it a lot and some update may break vdesk. Since this change are not documented, it's a little hard to update correctly vdesk. I will add a way to run vdesk on a specific build but it will be try and error.
And i need to improve the error message, thats not realy user friendly 😅

Do you still have the issue with the beta 4 ?

[cruzer619]

yes still having issue.. but different error:

C:\temp\scripts\VDesk-x64 (1)>vdesk.exe run -o 1 notepad.exe
Failure processing application bundle.
Bundle header version compatibility check failed.
A fatal error occured while processing application bundle

Normaly .net 8 should have fix this issue, i will look into it this weekend

Can you check with the VDesk.exe of the beta 4. (Not the zip one)

sure thing will try out today

[cruzer619]

ok.. that is working.. I'm able to create new desktop.. run app on specific desktop.. nice!!!!

[cruzer619]

will test more later on today

[cruzer619]

Trying to run this command. Outlook opens but on the same desktop as I'm running the command on, Desktop 3.

C:\temp\Downloads>VDesk run --no-switch --on 1 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
<3>VDesk.Commands.RunCommand[0] Element not found. (0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND))
Windows version: 10.0.22621.3447

[cruzer619]

oh and running win11 OS build 22621.3447.. I'm going to test if vdesk has to be in environmental variables.

[cruzer619]

ok did some more testing... looks like the run command works on non-MS Office apps.. Most 3rd party executables i'm able run -no switch .. so thats good..

[LittleVaaty]

Ok good, i will close this issue and open a new one for MS App
