Hi Klaus,

hopefully, once you succeed, you can help us getting the X2Go Plugin  
for windows into our download area.

The X2Go Plugin was a customer project and the builds of Windows  
versions of the plugin has been discontinued recently.

The plugin was developed before the change-over rom Xming to VcXsrv  
IIRC. So, it may well be that not all required binaries/dlls/etc. are  
stuffed into the npx2goplugin.dll.

You need to ship VcXsrv in that container, as well (I know this  
doesn't sound funny, having an XServer shipped as a mozilla plugin,  
but that how things work in X2Go on Windows).
