Hi Malcolm,

This is an FR3 feature. If you delete the Citrix Folder under All
Users\Startmenu then the installer will kick in. This is described in
Citrix Technote CTX102844.=20

You've got a number of options.

1. The easiest one is to put the Citrix folder back and set access
permissions on it so no non-admins  have access to the folder.

2. There is a registry hack that is supposed to fix the problem (stops
MSI installed checkingfor the presence of the Citrix folder, posted in
the thin.net) but doesn't seem to work for us, and I haven't had time to
find out why.

3. Modifiy the FR3 installation. Download the FR3 transform,
disable_installer_w2k_en.mst (see Citrix Technote CTX102844 and copy it
to a directory on the server. Then install Feature Release 3 by typing
the following at a command prompt (one line):
msiexec /t disable_installer_w2k_en.mst /i
<CDROOT>\MetaFrame\W2K\MFXP001.msi

Regards,

Rick

Hello

I have just find an issue running internet explorer via ICA.  Whenever
an admin user starts IE when connected to a fulldesktop (using ICA) it
will automatically start the windows installer and try and repair the
FR3 installation.  Strange thing is if we connect to full desktop via
RDP and run up IE it behaves normally.  I have already looked at
CTX102761 and am already doing the registry fix for this.  (without the
reg fix when you logged onto server console it used to try and repair).
Anybody seen this or got any ideas?  Only thing I can think is our
latest round of hotfixes both MS and Citrix has caused a few glitches.

Thanks
Malcolm
