You may need to install the following on each box also:

 

Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2005 (not 2008)

Enable network COM+ access (under Windows Components\Application Server)

As with all XenApp updates, Citrix recommends installing in the
following order:

1. Data store server (if indirect)

2. ZDCs (both primary and backup)

3. XML brokers

4. Farm metric servers

5. Farm member servers

From the readme for the hotfix rollup packs.

I would also recommend upgrading your license server to 11.6.1 before
you start the upgrade process.

Hi

So you just installed over the top?  Are there any gotchas?  I
understand I need to update the farm metric server first.  Any other
tips for a seamless upgrade?

Thanks

I have upgraded numerous farms from 4.0 to 4.5 as in-place upgrades and
never had an issue.  Not much changes from 4.0 to 4.5.  XenApp 5 for
Server 2003 is the same thing as 4.5 FP1.

Hi

Im looking at upgrading my Windows 2003 / Citrix Presentation Server 4
farm to XenApp 4.5.  I cannot migrate to new hardware.  There are 2
options:

1) Uninstall Citrix Presentation Server 4 and Install XenApp 4.5
2) Install XenApp 4.5 over the top of Citrix Presentation Server 4

Im looking at Option 1 as I feel it may be cleaner.  Can anyone
recommend the best way to upgrade and ensure no issues are encountered..
Which option should I go with?

Thanks
