I currently have a number of users that run the Program Neighborhood for
accessing Citrix. Now I'm trying to roll out an AG.

 

1) When users attempt to logon to the AG they need to install Active X
controls. The Endpoint anaylist works fine but there after you get stuck
in a loop trying to install ActiveX controls. So I thought well let's
just put a link to the client on the AG page.

2) Created a custom client using the Citrix Access Client Packager. Now
the problem is the Packager installs but somehow screws up the already
installed Program Neighborhood. If I the packager not to install the
Presentation server client then it removes the client. If I tell it to
install the Presentation server client once I logon to the AG click a
Citrix app the client pops up and says it needs to install and then
reboot.

 

This is getting really painful, does anyone have advise on a easy way
for end users to gain access to the AG if they already have the Citrix
Program Neighborhood client? It seems like this is really badly thought
out by Citrix or I'm dealing with a bug. The AG should allow you to
install the Active X controls directly from the AG (doesn't work and am
running latest everything).
