I've had the issue occur regardless of removing R03 first or not. Same with
R.2.0.1

As for accomplishing anything; we built a number of systems out during our
development / design phase some of which are no longer needed. Some of the
systems are to be reprovisioned for other uses, on one or two of them I was
hopeing to clear out the PS 4.0 install so that I can do a clean PS
4.5install (as opposed to an over the top version upgrade; just not a
fan of
those in general)

My scripted build is allows for pretty quick rollouts too, but uninstall
just seemed the quicker option in this case. Not turning out that way, so
I'll probably start doing some freash images with the rest of them.

thx

 Are you uninstalling R03 before uninstalling PS4.0?  What are you trying

Anyone else run into this at all?



Our servers are Win2k3 SP1, PS 4.0 with R.03 applied. If I initiate an
uninstall of Citrix, the uninstall will run through with no problems but on
system restart the server will boot right up to blue screens.



Safe mode will boot up, but I've been unable to track down the BSOD
culprit from there. (almost all citrix services are not listed in the
registry or services)



My only work around has been to boot up to "last known good configuration"
at which point Citrix is still 'uninstalled' from the file system but all
citrix services show up in the services list. At this point I can manually
wipe all of the calls to citrix services from the registry, and start a
clean Citrix installation.



I've had the problem with uninstalling Citrix prior to the update to R.03,
and can easily reproduce it on new system installations (not working off of
preset server images).



More annoying than anything, as I don't need to do uninstalls much; but
I'd love to know a quicker resolution to this if someone has one :).



thanks,



Lan
