I came across this issue when trying to setup a program to run in XPmode on my Windows 7 box.
“The Windows Installer does not permit installation from a Remote Desktop Connection)”
While the error seems to point at RDP connection being the issue (and it is sort of) it is actually due to the fact that I am trying to run the installer from one of the Terminal Services file shares (\\tsclient).
To get round this error do 1 of the following
1. Copy the file to the XPMode local drive (C:, for example)
2. connect to your machine via a UNC (i.e \\192.x.x.x. or \\<machine-name>)
3.Map a drive to the tsclient (i.e \\tsclient\C , \\tsclient\D)
Cheers
