This bulletin contains:

  • Links to critical hotfixes. These are updates you may need to apply after installing the product.

Important: Read this bulletin before proceeding with any pre-installation, installation, or post-installation tasks. Follow all instructions carefully because you might not be able to properly install or run the product otherwise.

Before You Install Citrix Presentation Server with Feature Pack 1

Step 1 - Updating Microsoft Windows Server Operating Systems

Step 1 ensures that the servers on which you plan to install the product feature all necessary system updates.

  • If you are using Presentation Server with a replicated SQL 2005 SP1 database for the farm datastore, install a Microsoft Hotfix as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 926613 or install SP2 for SQL 2005, which contains this hotfix.

Step 2 - Planning Your Product Installation

Step 2 ensures that the sequence of your product installation occurs in the correct order.

Important Upgrade Note:

If you are upgrading to Presentation Server 4.5, Feature Pack 1 and are currently using a post-10.0 client, select No during the installation process when asked whether you want to downgrade to the 10.0 client. Selecting No ensures that your post-10.0 client is not replaced by the older 10.0 client. Failure to do so might prevent you from upgrading to later versions of the client.

Important Notes about Specific Components:

  1. If your operating system is configured to allow MSI logging - either by registry or group policy object - make sure to review security bulletin CTX116228 and take any remedial action required for your setup.

  2. Citrix Health Check Agent:

    The Citrix Health Check Agent for Presentation Server 4.0 does not work with Presentation Server 4.5 or later. If you have CitrixHCA4 or a later version of the Health Check Agent installed, you must uninstall it before upgrading to Presentation Server 4.5. Failing to do so might cause system inconsistencies.

  3. Access Management Console:

    If you are planning to install the Access Management Console for Presentation Server, Password Manager, and the Access Gateway on the same server, you must install those components in the following order:

    1. Access Gateway
    2. Password Manager
    3. Presentation Server
  4. Presentation Server Client:

    Presentation Server 4.5 Feature Pack 1 installs Version 10.0 of the Presentation Server Client as the pass-through client. If you use the pass-through client, be sure to take full advantage of Presentation Server 4.5, Feature Pack 1, by installing Version 10.150 of the client on the server after completing all other Presentation Server component installations. Version 10.150 of the client is available at http://www.citrix.com/download.

    Note: After installing Version 10.150 of the Presentation Server Client, you can no longer use Citrix Streaming Clients Package.msi to install the Streaming Client because the package contains an older version of Program Neighborhood Agent. Instead, use Citrix Streaming Client.msi.

  5. Streaming Client:

    Version 1.1 of the Citrix Streaming Client offers significant performance and application compatibility improvements. However, the client is not installed as part of the automated Presentation Server pass-through client installation. To take full advantage of Presentation Server 4.5, Feature Pack 1 dual-mode streaming to stream applications to Presentation Server sessions, install Version 1.1 of the Streaming Client on the server after completing all other Presentation Server component installations. Version 1.1 of the client is available on the Feature Pack 1 Components CD. For the latest client updates, visit http://www.citrix.com/download.

    Note: After installing Version 10.150 of the Presentation Server Client, you can no longer use Citrix Streaming Clients Package.msi to install the Streaming Client because the package contains an older version of Program Neighborhood Agent. Instead, use Citrix Streaming Client.msi.

  6. SmartAuditor:

    If you are planning to install SmartAuditor, you must install the following hotfix before installing SmartAuditor:

    Windows Operating System Presentation Server Hotfix
    Windows Server 2003, 32bit PSE450R01W2K3011
    Windows Server 2003, 64bit PSE450R01W2K3X64006
  7. When upgrading from the French, German, and Spanish language versions of Presentation Server 4.0 with Hotfix Rollup Pack 2 or later, you are prompted for the Presentation Server 4.5 CD after the server restarts. The issue is caused by a GUID mismatch for the file licerrorUI.dll between the hotfix rollup pack and Presentation Server 4.5.

    Note: This issue affects only upgrades of French, German and Spanish systems from Hotfix Rollup Pack 2 and later. It does not affect upgrades from Hotfix Rollup Pack 1 nor upgrades of English and Japanese systems.

    The following workarounds prevent the CD prompt from appearing:

    • Leave or insert the Presentation Server 4.5 CD in the server's CD drive before the server restarts.
    • Map a persistent network drive of the CD image from which to perform the installation.
    • Copy the file licerrorUI.dll from the Presentation Server 4.5 CD (or from a network share of the CD image) to %programfiles%\Citrix\system32\resource\<language (de, fr, or es)> after upgrading but before the server restarts. This can be done manually or using a script.

Step 3 - Applying Critical Updates After Installation

Step 3 ensures that your product installation features the latest critical updates necessary to properly run the product. To do this, visit the Citrix Knowledge Center (32bit Version - 64bit Version) to download and apply any available critical updates.
