With Microsoft RemoteApp technology, you can seamlessly use an application that is running on another computer.
RemoteApp Tool is a utility that allows you to create/manage RemoteApps hosted on Windows (7, 8, 10, XP and Server) as well as generate RDP and MSI files for clients.
If you want your RemoteApps to appear in the Start Menu of your clients, or via a web interface, check out RAWeb!
If you have questions, comments or suggestions about RemoteApp Tool, please visit the forum.

How to create a RemoteApp and use it on another computer
The project was made open-source on 29/9/2019.
I started this project in 2011 as an inexperienced developer playing with VB.NET. Over the years I have changed and improved the functionality, but the code remains awful.
I no longer have time to make regular updates, so please take it and improve upon it if you have the time and motivation.
