Cannot launch published apps on Windows 2000 Pro

    Workstation: Windows 2000 SP4
    2X Client: 8.1.875
    Servers: 2X Application Server Enterprise edition w/2 TSE servers on W2K8 Enterprise Edition

    The 2X client is connected to my gateway and all published apps are presented. If I start a published app, the 2X client does nothing (except hide back into the toolbar).

    I have tested the deployed successfully the client with a pre-configured MSI package through a GPO on XP, Vista and Win7, but I cannot for the life of me launch a published app from W2K. I have tried a few W2K desktops to no avail. Unfortunately, I still have many relics in my park and will be stuck with W2K for a while (until the machines die!).

    In an effort to help the 2X client, I tried installing different versions of the RDP client. I am able to connect to my W2K8 TS servers with RDS, but no luck with the 2X Client. I have found no error messages on the 2X servers (Web and APP servers).

    I also tried running all flavors of the 2X client without success.

    This is probably you are missing MS Active X Control
    Try the following to verify this:
    CLick on help -> Control version on a win 2k workstation.
    An correct installation should give you some thing like 'Control Version: 6.1.7600 (80)' in a message box
    You will probablu get nothing.

    Solution is to install this client version 8.1.889

    http://www.2x.com/downloads/vds/betaver ... Client.msi

    This version takes care of installing the correct MS Active X Control for W2k.

    good luck and let me know if this helped you!
