I see.
I could see where the benefit of the VM would be to isolate the RoboHelp use on the server, as opposed to having a separate physical machine, as Chris says. But I know you're not asserting any difference between one or the other, just that accessing them is the same (via RDC).
Thanks, this is helpful.

Typically that's done with Remote Desktop Connection. Works the same whether the remote system is a VM or a physical PC.
