Cognos just plains sucks, and it has nothing to do with Citrix. It has to
be the most unintuitive piece of software I've ever encountered.
Basically, you need to do the following:
1) Customize \Program Files\Cognos\Cognos.ini and move it to %SystemRoot%
(you must remove the original)
2) Customize \Program Files\Cognos\cer3\bin\impromptu.ini and move it to
%SystemRoot% (you must remove the original)
3) Customize \Program Files\Cognos\cer3\bin\cer3.ini
- Make sure you have Impromptu State File Location=windir
4) Change the value of CognosIni in HKLM\SW\Cognos to M:\WINDOWS\.. (include
the trailing dots)
Here is a recent thread on the subject:

Handling the catalogs is a whole 'nother ballgame...

Subject: [THIN] Cognos
has anyone got Cognos Impromptu version 7 running on their farm?
I have a Win2k3, PS4 farm i need to get it loaded on. The consultant from
the company who sold this to us is telling me that the customers who try it
on Citrix have "nothing but problems". Of course he follows it up with gems
like "no report writer runs on Citrix" and "Citrix has too many other
problems anyway".
It doesn't look like anything spectacular to get running but If anyone else
has fought with it, I would be interested to hear the tricks if there are
any.
Thanks!
Greg
