I recently had to upgrade Citrix Receiver for one of my clients and I faced numerous issues during the install. I had to enable SSO for Citrix Receiver and add a storefront URL so when the users launch Citrix Receiver they should be able to launch their apps store directly without going through login prompts and entering the url. While Citrix Receiver can be installed with the following command: CitrixReceiver.exe /silent /noreboot /includeSSON ENABLE_SSON=Yes ALLOWADDSTORE=N ALLOWSAVEPWD=S And Store URL can be set in the ADM template of Citrix Receiver, however, you will need to uninstall the older version before you install the new one. Other issues faced were for double icons which appeared on those users machines who had added an app store themselves in the previous version. When a new store was added through Group policy, it actually doubled the store and the icons. The stores are created in the below registry key: HKCU\Software\Citrix\Dazzle When I removed this for the user and i...

iTunes comes as an EXE file which can be extracted easily with 7Zip. The five MSI I received were AppleApplicationSupport, AppleMobileDeviceSupport64, AppleSoftwareUpdate, Bonjour64 and iTunes64. The Apple Software Update MSI and Bonjour MSI can be discarded if you do not want to AutoUpdate your iTunes. Bonjour can be kept if you want to allow file sharing on your desktop fleet. We did not want this so we removed this MSI. If you want to install Bonjour then it can be installed silently with /qb! switch. From this Version QuickTime is not part of iTunes.

Most people dread while packaging Mozilla Firefox application and mostly try to make a silent installation of it. I was recently given task to package the latest Mozilla Firefox application. The same procedure can be used for version 10.0.1, 11, 12 and 13, 14 and 15 as well as I have tried and it works fine for all of these. I would like to share here how I could easily package it. Also by this method you will be able to do Proxy server settings. First step is to do a Setup capture of the source exe which can be downloaded from Mozilla’s website.
