well, my fallback plan was to go back to XP. I never would have thought to test it, I made the assumption that Citrix would be able to do such a thing. Lesson learned, that's for sure.

I would look into building a fallback plan next time...   Ghost your servers
before upgrading, or use FirstDefense.  Or as we do, scripted installs.  I
can drag and drop an altiris job on a server and it's ready in less than an
hour.

If the customer can afford it, get a few VMware servers up a running and
build a parallel test farm for testing applications, os patches, etc
upgrades.

this was my third time to come across this. i had managed to get my previous stuff working in 4 so that I didn't have to address this. Now, I have a app that is crashing b/c of the TWAIN redirecting in 4 and had no choice but to roll back.

Wish I had this about two weeks ago...

At least I know what to do next time. Thanks for passing this along.

after a looooong morning, it was found that when you uninstall PS4 it deletes a required key that is not replaced when you install an older version of Citrix (XPe FR3 in my case, no SP4 didn't fix it either). Here is a link to the Citrix article that is poorly keyworded at this time. If you search the error that you get (the same thing as when you have a TS license issue; you know, your metaframe connection was interrupted, yada yada yada..), you will not find this article.

anyways, enough babbling from me, here's the link
