It requires adding other components, such as the ones mentioned on the posts I shared with you. Here is a quote from one of those posts.

> While ThinLinc uses VNC as its graphical protocol, Windows generally uses RDP. Although there is no built-in support for RDP in ThinLinc, there are a number of third-party RDP clients available for Linux, such as those available from the [rdesktop](http://www.rdesktop.org/) and [FreeRDP](https://www.freerdp.com/) projects. These clients can be launched from within a ThinLinc session just like any other application, and used to connect to an existing Windows server via RDP.

> _Note: as they are not part of the ThinLinc product itself, RDP clients are not covered by Cendio support or the ThinLinc EULA. However, professional third-party support services are available for both rdesktop and FreeRDP. Your Linux distribution provider may also offer support for these components._

It is not possible to connect to a VNC-Server on a Windows System with ThinLinc.
