You need to select and install the RSE feature from Helios.

The RSE dependencies specified in RDT are the minimal set of funcationalities we need once a RSE connection is established.  You need to install the RSE feature in order to create a RSE connection successfully.

Yes but can it give me a message telling me something's missing?
or even better, up the ante on the dependencies so it gets everything it needs?

I've added the dependency on the RSE feature in RDT.
