In Windows 7,8, Vista and 10 , RDSolverRun.exe must be “run as administrator," or it can always throw an exception. If you run it directly, start it with "Run as Administrator," available in Windows 7,8, Vista and 10 in the context menu of the RDSolverRun.exe file. If you run it from a Windows console(command line prompt), administrator rights are not required.
