Suprisingly enough. All I am hoping to achieve is a working published app.
I don't want to push the desktop. I have one in house app that requires a
login and mapped drives and I am trying to publish office XP apps, currently
playing with word. I can connect to the application set in program
neighborhood and I can see the app icons. Word starts and fails with an
"invalid working directory" error. The working dir is currently the one
that Metaframe defaulted to during the publishing, which is
"d:\programfiles\microsoftoffice\office10". I tried creating a temp dir,
giving users privs to it and setting that as the working dir but got the
same error. The in house app icon does not appear for other users in
program neighborhood. Never used metaframe XP before. I have been looking
for a simple "how to" doc on XP app publishing on citrix's web site to see
if I am missing something basic or just different from 1.8.
thanks,
Steve
PS - company denies training requests as a rule, I asked months ago and yes,
I have an XP book on the way. :-p thanks for any help.

Hi,
I would like to publish MS word on XP FR2. I notice that I am able to
specify a working directory for the users during the setup. The default
path for the working dir of the app defaults to the same dir that the .exe
is in. Each user gets mapped to their own home drives during login via a
login script. Would I specify the home dir as the working dir for an
office app? If so, how? %homedrive% or some derivation? Or is it
better to create a separate dir on the citrix server itself and give users
read/write to it and use that as the working dir?
thanks,
steve
