Roon fatal (OpenGL) error when launched

There are several topic on this if you search on opengl or on server 2012.

Bottom line:

  • you need to run an opengl driver
  • remote desktop does not allow that

Workarounds:

  • use splashtop
  • or start roon using a batch job on your headless computer. It logs you off, starts roon and when you connect a little later you can then use remote desktop just fine.

I use the latter option.

the script (from: Install for Roon on Intel NUC + Win2012R2 Essentials - Using Audiophile Optimzer):
tscon.exe %SESSIONNAME% /v /dest:console
timeout 1
Start C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Roon\Application\Roon.exe
