Problem Server 2008 has RDP 6.0, Server 2008 R2 has RDP 6.1.

My application works with RDP ActiveX control 6.1, but does not work with version 6.0 - generates access violation from mstscax.dll.

Is there any way to upgrade Server 2008 (not 2008 R2) with RDP 6.1?

More details: my application is written in Delphi, the ActiveX control was generated from mstscax.dll version 6.1.7601.17514. Target system where the application doesn't work, has mstscax.dll version 6.0.6002.18356. When the application tries to connect, it generate an access violation exception in mstscax.dll. The way I see it is a compatibility problem.

I appreciate any ideas on how to resolve this.
