  LOL. Can't edit OP after 15..

  Here is the installation of netextender:

  --- SonicWALL NetExtender 10.2.826 Installer [...]

  Set pppd to run as root [y/N]? y

  [...]

  Copying files...[...]

  ./install: line 298: /usr/sbin/netExtender: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

  ------------------------ INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL -----------------------

  Unfortunately, the GUI won't start

  There was a problem loading the NetExtender JNI library.

  Please reinstall NetExtender, and make sure you have a compatible version of Java installed. SonicWall recommends Sun Java 1.4 or higher.

  Thank you for the explanation of the error. I'm a networking and hardware noob, so this is all new to me. I only just discovered what I'm looking to create is called a 'thin client' for RDP to Windows.

  Once I started searching for 'thin client' I found other peeps using RPi4s as an inexpensive and sufficient solution. Setting up the RPis has been very simple so far, and if I'm going to start from zero and have to support these little boxes, I'd like to do it in Linux.

  I work at a small firm and we're all Windows and currently using Net Extender. It was a no brainer to try to install NetExtender, since the office staff is already familiar with that software. I have need to build 3-4 of these solutions, so not a big deal--I could get away with several surplus machines off ebay, too. Just the RPi is a great product and I'd like to support them.

  I will investigate the CLI as recommended by TKWITS and from the Linux/RPi side.

  Thanks for your answers

  Hi I'm also trying to set up remote connection to Windows PC from my Raspberry Pi 3.

  I also ran into the same problem of launching Sonicwall NetExtender through GUI: bash: /usr/sbin/netExtender: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. Did you have any luck solving this? Please share with me if you have any suggestions,

  Thanks!

  Hey folks, know this thread is ancient but I had some success running the installer after setting up Box64, which is a x64 to ARM converter utility… thing.

  That said, I get a segmentation fault when doing so. this was the first google result so I figured I would add to the chain since I got a bit further. Not sure what the cause is but here's my console output:

  sudo ./install*

  not a dynamic executable
  Checking pppd...
  Do you want non-root users to be able to run NetExtender?
  If so, I can set pppd to run as root, but this could be
  considered a security risk.

  To launch NetExtender, do one of the following:

  1. Click the NetExtender icon under the Applications menu
     (look under the 'Internet' or 'Network' category)
     or
  2. Type 'netExtenderGui'

  You said the install segfaults, but can you actually run netextender now it's installed?
