Okay I have now got it to start vcxsrv, sshd and pulse by copying the x2goclient.exe binary to c:\program files\x2goclient\ though when I try and connect to a session it just hangs on connecting :( The code I changed was in onmainwindow.cpp to the following:

/* xorg-> setWorkingDirectory ( appDir+"\\xming" ); */
/* xorg->start ( appDir+"\\xming\\xming.exe",args ); */
xorg-> setWorkingDirectory ( "C:\\program files\\vcxsrv" );
xorg->setEnvironment ( env );
xorg->start ( "C:\\program files\\vcxsrv\\vcxsrv.exe",args );

What I have noticed though it that the binary I compile is huge compared to the one that is shipped.  Is that due to it being in some sort of debug mode or has the binary been stripped ?
