CTX112420 - I/O Error or Cannot Connect to Citrix Server with an Application Using Accented Characters (For Example, é or è) in its Name This document was published at: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX112420 Document ID: *CTX112420*, Created on: Mar 6, 2007, Updated: Mar 7, 2007 Products: Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000 *Symptoms* An application with accented characters (for example, é or è) in its name does not launch correctly. *Cause* Under certain circumstances, the XML Service on the zone data collector uses a different character encoding than the client. This results in the XML Service translating the accented characters and passing the translated characters to IMA to find the server with the smallest load, which fails because the application name is now incorrect. The CTXXMLSS.txt file, which is located in the *C:\Program Files\Citrix\System32* folder, is used to set the encoding used by the XML Service. If the XML Service is running separately to the World Wide Web service, this file is read at connection time. If the file is not found, the XML Service defaults to Unicode Transformation Format (UTF)-8 encoding. *Resolution* Ensure that the CTXXMLSS.txt file is present and configured correctly in the *C:\Program Files\Citrix\System32* folder. -- Jim Kenzig Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services http://www.thinhelp.com Citrix Technology Professional Provision Networks VIP CEO The Kenzig Group http://www.kenzig.com Blog: http://www.techblink.com
