OpenFin running in a Virtual Desktop Environment (VDI)

Overview

OpenFin works on a virtual desktop environment but a few settings need to be applied before you can successfully run OpenFin. 

Setup Instructions

We recommend that you install to the users local roaming profile.  Add a string key value named rvmInstallDirectory with the value %appdata%.

Install location

Add a string key value named rvmInstallDirectory with the value reflecting the new installation path in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenFin\RVM\Settings\Deployment\rvmInstallDirectory

Override Cache Directory

Additionally, override the cache directory using the runtimeCache registry key in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenFin\RVM\Settings\Deployment\runtimeCache

The user must have full permission to the runtimeCache.

If the runtimeCache is located on a network drive, then the security sandbox for the renderer process needs to be disabled.

Adding Runtime Arguments

The user must have full permission to the runtimeCache

 

If the runtimeCache is located on a network drive, then the security sandbox for the renderer process needs to be disabled.

To disable the renderer process create a string value named runtimeArgs with value as --no-sandbox and --allow-no-sandbox-job

in:HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/OpenFin/RVM/runtimeArgs

Disabling GPU for display issues

If you have any issues with the display, then you may need to disable GPU by creating/editing the string value named runtimeArgs with a value of --disable-gpu and --disable-software-rasterizer

in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/OpenFin/RVM/runtimeArgs
