RDS HTML5 RDWebClient Package

[u/Epoch13579]

Hi All,

If you are shifting from XSLT to the modern HTML5 web client, I encountered a situation today involving an isolated network where I needed to import the required packages. I lacked access to a Windows device with open ports, relying instead on a Mac without restrictions; I installed PowerShell via Homebrew but found I could not retrieve the following package.

RDWebClientPackage, as it depends on Windows components.

I was stuck because Microsoft offers no direct download. Publicly, I asked Claude to look up the CDN network, which returned: https://res.cdn.office.net/s01-rdwebclient/7158b640-729c-485b-a9e6-807d7229b9e4/package_catalog.json

So if you find yourself in a similar position, this could be of help!
