Hi Mark - unfortunately allowing the reboot didn't fix the problem. However, I think I am a step closer. The error on installation is as follows: The Program Folder cannot contain the following characters: /:*?"<>|,.(); MSI (s) (79:01): Product: Citrix ICA Client -- The Program Folder cannot contain the following characters: /:*?"<>|,.(); Further back in the installation log, the following details are listed: MSI (s) (4C:DC): Dir (target): Key: PFNAME.C76E2E86_AE54_4AF5_997C_63EBB83C7651 , Object: C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools (Common)\Citrix ICA Client\ I believe this is causing the failure (The (Common) in the path - () are illegal). All machines which have succeeded have the following path instead of the one above: MSI (s) (4C:DC): Dir (target): Key: PFNAME.C76E2E86_AE54_4AF5_997C_63EBB83C7651 , Object: C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Citrix ICA Client\ However, I am unsure as to where it is looking for this path (I can't seem to find it doing a reg search either). Any further help appreciated. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the Key: PFNAME.C76E2E86_AE54_4AF5_997C_63EBB83C7651 means ?
