Microsoft RDP Crash on launch I work for a primarily Microsoft based IT support company, anyway today a Mac user asked me to setup RDP which I wouldn't normally have any issues with but I got onto the Mac and installed the latest RDP client from the app store (this was updated a couple days ago).

Anyway when I try to launch it from launchpad I get a crash every time, I tried reinstalling but it still does the exact same.

I am not experienced with Mac's at all so I am finding it hard to troubleshoot this, can anyone shed some light on this or point me in the right direction?

Check the version of Mac OS X - Microsoft has dropped support for Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8.

See this tech-net link for more info OSX 10.7 Remote Desktop crash at startup.

I believe that an Mac OS X update to 10.10 (El Capitan) is available free in the App Store.
