But the ICA client is not the standard AG install.  The AG client is not an
activex client.  I'm not sure what WI page AG has but I do know you can
point AG to use WI as a page.  Or am I missing something here from the
explanation?

AG does have a WI page to provide the Citrix apps which is located on another server. Is this turned off on the WI server? Although this might do away with a pop-up the real problem is how to easily get the AG client installed without disrupting already install Citrix client.



Thank you!

What if you turn off automatic update of the ICA ActiveX client?  On my
implementations we do not turn on any sort of automatica ICA client update
and haven't had any problems.  That part is not a feature of CAG off the top
of my head.  Are you redirecting to WI?

Citrix Web Client Active X control is where it gets stuck. The Endpoint

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).
