![]() If (re)install succeeded, it turns green.Īlso remember to run it under an admin account and use "Run as Administrator". If something goes wrong, the background turns red. 95+% of the time, it works on the first run. In very rare cases you need to run the script 2-3 times for it to completely clean up a bad installation, but I've rarely had to do it more than three. ( also true about many other programs, but here we are only concerned with Citrix) reg files that I find cleans even more up than Citrix' cleaner.Ĭitrix uninstaller really leaves a lot of crap in the registry. It also cleans up after bad Citrix Receiver/Workspace installations, both using Citrix' own cleaner, but also runs some custom. Read the instructions at start of script. Just remember to alter the install command to fit your Citrix-system. I have attached a copy of the script ( feel free to modify and reuse it). We use an install script to manage (re)installation and I hope it is not something in this script that is causing the problem. something is preventing the app from having its own local window. The Citrix server (taskmanager under USERS tab) clearly shows the app running under my user: (All the icons at the top is because I locally run DisplayFusion to manage multiple apps, but users without Displayfusion also experience this issue)Įven the connection center does not have a record of the Word app running (because it does not have its own window, I assume): When Word starts, the Word startminiscreen does appear in the middle of my screen (it clearly has its own window locally), but the main Word app does not. I cannot tab-switch to the Word app, because locally it "does not exist". If I go the the app, then the word app disappears behind the other programs and is no longer visible or controllable. As you can see on the screenshot, the Word app is ONLY visible through other apps windows. Sometimes the Word app just doesn't have its own window locally and must rely on the kindness of other apps in Citrix that does. But it really doesn't matter if I start it from there or directly in the Workspace app. The Word app is started from an attachment in Outlook. ![]() Now on to the issue that seems to not have been solved in multiple workspace revisions. Just remember to find and download NDP47-KB3186497-x86-圆4-AllOS-ENU.exe and Windows6.1-KB4019990-圆4.msu to make it work as they are not installed by default just in case you find yourself in a situation where you need Workspace running on Windows 7 or 8) ![]() ( 2102 is legacy information, as we don't really have or support Windows 7/8 computers any more. ::: 2102 - Latest version that works in Windows 7/8 ::: LTSR 2203 CU1: Continually shows "Reconnecting / Abort" bottom right, even though apps launch correctly. ::: 2205 - Does not have the issue that 2209/2305 has with the "detached" app window, but has other more serious issues that I cannot remember right now. ![]() App still runs, but cannot be called to the foreground and does not have its own Windows Taskbar icon. ::: 2207 - All existing apps sometimes becomes hidden after reconnecting to a session. ::: 2209 - Most stable version in our environment, but on occation some Citrix-program windows are not attached to its own client local window and only visible via another Citrix-programs local window. Good candiate for new stable version though, as no other issues have presented themselves yet. ::: 2305 - Seems stable, but has same "sometimes program-windows are hidden" issues that 2209 has. Unfortunately I have not logged most of the quirks/errors in all the versions, as we usually just abandoned the version when we found a more stable one.īut we have been through almost all the various revisions between 2102 and the newest and 2209 has been the most stable till now.Ģ305 is promising though, but has the exact same issue that 2209 ( and many other versions have). 2305 is still under our review as it is fairly new, but it looks promising as the stable successor to 2209.Īll other versions have their own quirks or problems, which makes them fairly useless in our environment. So far we've determined that 22 are the two most stable versions with least amount of problems. We've also gone through multiple revisions of the Workspace app with varying success. (this problem has been existing for many years) We've been using Citrix for more than 10 years now and recently (2 years ago) upgraded to Citrix XenApp 7.33 on the servers. Apologies for posting in Receiver 4.x forum, but there doesn't seem to be a forum for the Workspace app? ![]()
