Installing Visual Studio 2012 via RDC

There's a hotfix targetted at a similar sounding problem:

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that has the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed.
  • You use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to remotely access the computer.
  • You try to run a .NET Framework 3.5-based Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application on the remote computer.

In this scenario, the WPF application is not displayed correctly. For example, the WPF application only has a border, and the body of the application is not displayed.
