Hi Steve,
I'll answer this back to front.
R01 comes with a bunch of installation conditions:
* Before installing this hotfix rollup pack, you must uninstall the
following Hotfix PSE400W2K3029, if present, from the Add/Remove Programs
Control Panel. Failing to do so may lead to system inconsistencies.
* Files contained in Presentation Server 4.0 hotfixes and hotfix rollup
packs are not getting updated properly on servers with the Citrix Health Check
Agent tool installed. For more information, see knowledgebase article CTX108448
<http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX108448> .
* Depending on the base Presentation Server installation, it may be
possible to install this package on Presentation Server for Windows 2000
Server. This is due to the fact that a check for operating system version is
not performed. This configuration is not supported and should be avoided.
[#128763]
* Depending on the base Presentation Server installation, it may be
possible to install this package on an international version of Presentation
Server for Windows Server 2003. This is due to the fact that a check for
operating system or Presentation Server language is not performed. This
configuration is not supported and should be avoided. [#128800]
* If Conferencing Manager was installed on a server with existing
Presentation Server hotfixes/hotfix rollup packs, users were sometimes
incorrectly prompted for the source CD when launching Conferencing Manager for
the first time. In addition, users sometimes could not properly uninstall
Presentation Server hotfixes/hotfix rollup packs from that server. Refer to
CTX108342 <http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX108342> for
more information about the workaround. [#128758]
These comments should make it fairly obvious that R01 isn't a totally solid
product. In particular, "breaking" registry access permissions is kind of gross.
Anyway, R01 patches some IM components and to do that it has to stop and then
restart the ADF installer service. Since that service is controlling the
install, it's probably not unreasonable to expect things to break ;-)

Rick,
Can elaborate on the ADF service and the impact of the rollup?
thanks

Hi Phillip,
R01 really isn't your normal hotfix/patch because it does it's thing by running
some VBscripts regfiles etc.
However, one of the things the the R01 install does is stop the ADF installer
service, which technically shouldn't break things, but from what you've
experienced it obviously does.
I've always avoided using IM for Citrix patches, for the same reason that you
don't do manual patching of the Citrix product from inside an ICA session. You
might be painting yourself into a corner.
But back to your problem. I'd be tempted to try using IM to kick of a batch
file that run msiexec /update againt R01 (package run external program with
installer). That's far enough removed from the installer that it should work
without problems.

Rick

gang,
anyone else seen issues with pushing the r01 for ps4 through
installation manager? I'm working with Citrix on this one trying to
uncover the problem. installation manager reports the install as failed
and logs the following event log on the destination server. What's weird
is that the patch does install, apparently correctly, and shows up in
add/remove programs.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: InstallationManager
Event Category: None
