If the application has any HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys, you'll need
to use the Change User /install mode to get those keys propagated out to
all of your Citrix users at login.  For applications that don't add
current_user registry keys during installation, you'll be okay without
doing the change user.  I do the change user always because I don't know
what the application is putting into the registry for me during
installation...

Subject: [THIN] App install 2x click vs add-remove vs change user
/install



Hi Gang, 

These days do we still need to properly install apps via Add/Remove or
change user /install ?  Even something as trivial as Winzip or an FTP
Client ?  Or can we just 2x click on the install, and if it doesn't
complain then we're golden?

We're running a mix bag of Win2K / Win2K3 and XPe
