To provide the multi-user environment which a Terminal Server needs
(multiple users running the same application simultaneously and
still have different personal settings), all applications must be
installed *after* you install Terminal Services.
For you, it means that nobody can tell you what happens with your
already installed applications. Some might continue to work as
before, others might not. It depends on the application.
And after you install Terminal Services, all user applications must
be installed while the server is in "install mode", AND while no
other users are connected to the server.
You can put the TS in install mode in 2 different ways: either
install through Control Panel - Add/Remove applications (which
automatically puts the TS in install mode), or manually, by typing
"change user /install" (without the quotes) at a command prompt,
and then installing the application with the provided installer.

I have a Windows 2003 Server that we use for development. The.
built in 2 user limit is becoming a problem, our developers are
stepping on each other. I would like to increase to 4 users to
be comfortable. The developers are usually in and out of there
in a matter of minutes to configure something in IIS, copy a
file, create a directory, etc. No heavy-duty apps are being
run.
Problem is when I go to Add/Remove Programs > Windows Components
and select Terminal Server and Terminal Server License Manager,
I am prompted with a warning that includes:
"Program Installation: If you continue with this installation,
programs that are already installed on your server will no
longer work and will have to be reinstalled. You must use Add
or Remove Programs in Control Panel whenever you install
programs to use on a Terminal Server"
Of course this stopped me dead in my tracks thinking that if I
continue, all the installed apps on the server would be rendered
useless!
This also seems to imply I would not be able to install any
future apps on the server using the app-provided installer, but
would have to use the Control Panel instead?
