True, if you have a current SA you can download and install the ICA 11, WI
5.0.1 and Isolation 3.0 components without having to upgrade to XA 5.0. In,
fact once you do that you're already at XenApp 5.

Web interface 5.01 loads the apps about 10 times faster, that is the biggest
improvement. It also does device detection now and has a mobile portal.
I posted a blog entry on my upgrade here:

It has links to all the files you need in mycitrix for the wi files.

From what has been said in the replies, is there in fact, a reason to
upgrade to XenApp 5.0 at all? There is no requirement to upgrade your OS to
Windows Server 2008.
Kind regards,

So is there a benefit to going to Windows 2008 Server for the XenApp
servers.
And if so can that be an inplace upgrade?
Sorry never done an OS upgrade on a Citrix server before, only the Citrix
itself.
Thanks all for your info.

To upgrade PS 4.5 to XenApp 5 is pretty simple. Just following this simple
step:
1) Wait for it.Wait for it. Wait for it. Congratulations! Your now
running XenApp 5!
2) Update WI, ICA Client, Isolation Client as needed
Citrix is getting to be lazy as they hardly put any effort into effort into
XenApp 5 for Windows 2003. The only thing that is new is an updated version
of Isolation. You could say WI is updated but a .0.1 release as WI 5 was
already released with XenDesktop. They also didn't bother to repackage and
rebrand the install. So really, XA 5 should have been a 4.6 released.

Hi,
We currently have a Citrix PS 4.5 and as part of our Citrix advantage
subscriptions want to upgrade to XenApp,.
Is there any gotchas that anyone is aware of for this upgrade.
I understand it can be done as put disk into $.5 Server and run Setup.
TIA for your help
Graeme
