Add-In Not Loaded for Terminal Server Users with Restricted Permissions

Problem: The add-in can be loaded by an administrator - but not by a normal user with restricted privileges.

Users connecting through the Terminal Server have access permissions to the Remote Desktop (local) but are usually not allowed to make changes within the setup or parameters (in components, tools, applications, etc.).

The error when loading the add-in may also be due to the fact that these users are not authorized to read or execute the configuration file machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\<Framework | Framework64>\v4.0.30319\Config.

As tests have shown: If you allow the affected users to read and write the machine.config file, the add-in may be loaded.

Summarized:

• Granting Permissions to Remote Desktop Users (Local)
• Granting permissions to read and execute the machine.config file (local)
