Hi,
FR3 uses the windows installer a bit too agressively.
It creates a Citrix folder in the all users folder that anyone with any
sense would move elsewhere.
Once you've done that, the installer is likely to pop up at any time
(generally when running internet explorer) asking to re-install FR3.
If you make the folder inaccessible to non admin users, the installer
briefly flashes up for them. The only thing that makes FR3 behave itself is
just hiding the folder.
Not sure if the FR3 update fixes this.
regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] FR3 problem?
Hi
Ive been doing some Fr3 upgrades and testing over the last week or so and
have come acrross an issue.
I was wondering whether anyone could see whether this affects their FR3
installs.
I have found on all 5 upgrades/Test servers that i can get FR3 to start
reinstalling itself when i click certain icons or enable Browser
accleration.
I always have a habit of moving the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start
Menu\Programs\Citrix and moving to the adminstrators own programs area.
However, when i do this and run the Terminal services configuration utility
in Administraive tools and then double click on the ICA settings , the FR3
msi installer starts and prompts for the FR3 CD.
I can also generate this by launching a desktop and running internet
explorer with Browser Speedscreen enabled.
However , If i create a blank %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start
Menu\Programs\Citrix\MetaFrame directory the issue does not re occur.
Has anyone seen this at all ? or have i missed a Citrix technote somewhere ?
I have tried both versions of Fr3 ( withdrawn and updated) on Windows 2000
with Service pack 3.
thanks for your time
regards
