Interesting...wondering if installing Visual C++ 2005 SP1 as a
prerequisite and then rebooting would have resolved all your issues from
the start???
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,
looks like it I have it sorted, when I rebuilt the server this morning I
installed the AAC 4.5 but did not run the configuration of the database.
I then installed the hot fix which Installed Microsoft Visual c++ 2005
SP1 after a reboot I installed the hot fix 5 again this time the hot fix
completed.
I ran the server configuration and allowed the SQL Express to be setup
and configured. again completed successfully
Which allowed me to import my configuration from the test box I had with
hot fix 5 running on.
Just need to move License server component and Web interface and
schedule some down time to do the switch over.
then to get all my users to XenApp....

Hi Ronnie,
I haven't tried it, but try stopping all the relevant services first.
Perhaps there is a critical DLL not being replaced. Have you compared
all the files at the bottom of the KB article
(http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX123627) with the ones on your
system?
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hi Ronnie,
I actually went through the pain of this install on our prod system over
this past weekend. In my case, I also found that trying to run HotFix 5
directly against the prod server that had a previous hotfix version on
it would seem to run through ok, but I would be unable to manipulate
some items in the management interface (changes to connection policies
would fail).
So for our systems, I ended up doing a complete un-install / re-install.
(not a complete clean build as you list here) In my case, I did the
following:
- created an export of the existing configuration.
- I first removed all connection policies
- removed all AAC components from the server
- deleted the database from SQL.
- re-installed all AAC components.
- ran Hotfix 5
After these steps Hotfix 5 was installed properly, and all functions of
the management interface worked fine for me. I was then able to import
back in the previous configuration.
The problem I discovered after the fact however, is that a configuration
Export will also export any CAB files associated with any configured
Filters. Which means that when you import an old config into a Hotfix5
environment, it will overwrite new filter CAB's with the old ones.
For our setup, we have a "domain filter". Because that was exported /
imported, our filter does not allow for scanning of Windows 7 systems
(which is an option available with HotFix5). This can be resolved by
either removing any customized filters from your configuration prior to
an Export. OR, if you can extract the needed CAB files from the hotfix
itself, you can manually import the Windows 7 supporting CAB files into
your filter setup.
I personally hate applying updates to the AAC. New hotfixes are supposed
to remove any old hotfixes (and often have problems with doing so), and
more often than not, new hotfixes corrupt the installation.

Hi,
this is starting to drive me insane, think this patch has failed on 2
completely different server's and now again today on the live build of
the server.
I have only been able to install it once on a very old test server, were
I have made all the necessary configuration changes for windows 7.
New server build order:
Install OS--> Install IIS -> Enable Active Server Pages --> Install
Dot Net framework for 4.5 CD support folder.
Patch Server using GFI with all patches and service packs (method
used for all server builds)
Install 4.5 from CD --> allow installation to create SQL Express
Database on same server
Choose no to configure Licensing at this time ( as I have these
components running on two test machines at the moment and they are in
use)
Allow AAC to run default configuration, which completes
successfully.
Then when I run the hot fix 5 I get a message to restart
When the machine restarts nothing happened so I ran the patch again.
Patch just sat in running processes until I launched the management
console.
It then prompted me to restart to complete the patch.
It looks installed in add / remove programs, but I cant be 100 %
sure.
I have the configuration CAB file from the current live test server
to be imported, but this fails.
I cant see any explanation why this hot fix keeps failing, although I do
see a lot of complaints that previous hot fixes for this product has
corrupted numerous systems.
The one difference in this build for the previous on that did work was
that I installed hot fix 4 then imported the configuration and then
installed the hot fix 5.
This isn't really an option if it can be avoided as there are quite a
few configuration changes that have been made since the hot fix 5 has
been installed.
Has anyone had any experiences on this or see something I am doing
incorrectly.
thanks
Ronnie
