Better still, have a look at XLaunch from Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy -

Hi,

 

Kixstart is brilliant but seeing as Citrix use ctxhide to hide
usrlogon.cmd so there's no reason that couldn't be used to hide any
other batch file.

 

regards,

 

Rick

My work around for launching CMD files / custom scripts for starting
published apps is to use Kix as the app execution script engine.

Very robust scripting language that you can generally port DOS commands
directly into. 

So, the Pub App calls a CMD / BAT file which then calls to the KIX
script. Just in case you can also flag the console to hide within Kix. 

Since you already have the logic worked out for the Batch script. You
could probably do the following:

CMD / BAT script = 

@echo off

IF /I "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="AMD64" (

kix32.exe C:\scripts\64bitexcel.kix

) ELSE (

kix32.exe C:\scripts\32bitexcel.kix 

)

Exit /B 0


Kix script1 = "64bitexcel.kix"

SETCONSOLE="HIDE"
RUN "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE"

Kix script2 = "32bitexcel.kix"

SETCONSOLE="HIDE"
RUN "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE"


All that's needed for this, would be the Kix32.exe under
C:\windows\system32 on any of the TS servers which might execute it. 

It would be cleaner to convert the processor identity logic into the Kix
script, so that you only need 2 scripts per app (CMD just calls to a
single Kix script, which checks proc types, then runs correct app), but
the above should at least get you going for testing this out.
