Issue(s) Fixed in This Release

1. The radecache /flush: -u command fails to clear the registry and files in the user root if the system RadeCache does not exist.

   [#209152]

2. On demand caching fails for applications that are streamed to server when the first user to access a profile logs off.

   [#210725]

3. A 0xE000385 error can occur while launching a streamed application.

   [#211059]

4. When %APPDATA% is redirected to a UNC path (as opposed to mapped to a local drive), applications fail to launch after the initial launch.

   [#212171]

5. The Raderun.exe option /extracmdline does not support blank spaces in command line parameters. As a result, attempts to launch applications from a command line using file paths with blank spaces fail.

   [#213775]

6. Streamed instances of Microsoft Dynamics GP fail to launch, with the msdynamicssl.exe process pegging the CPU at 99% while the splash screen is displayed.

   [#213993]

7. The following error message can occur while launching a streamed application, and the application exits unexpectedly:

   System Error. Code 6
   The handle is invalid

   Note: Certain applications, including BIR, might require you to set the following registry key to resolve the issue completely:

   On 32-bit Windows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\StreamingHook\AppInit_DLLs\CtxSbxHook\ExceptionDlls\wininet.dll

   On 64-bit Windows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432node\Citrix\StreamingHook\AppInit_DLLs\CtxSbxHook\ExceptionDlls\wininet.dll

   [#217472]

8. When a cache limit greater than 4GB is set, an incorrect cache limit warning might appear even if the cache size is less than the limit set.

   [#220562]

9. Servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen, on CTXSBX.SYS with bugcheck code 1E.

   [#220606]

10. Servers might experience a fatal exception, displaying a blue screen, on CTXSBX.SYS with bugcheck code 8E.

    [#221099]

11. Version 5.2 of the plug-in fails to launch certain packages on first launch but succeeds thereafter. The issue occurs when there are blank spaces in the parameter options.

    [#221167]

12. By default, offline applications can be launched only from Trusted Sites. This enhancement provides more granular control of what types of sites can successfully use the offline plug-in. To enable the enhancement, you must set the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Citrix\Rade
    Name: IEZoneMask
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Data: 1 (plug-in use allowed only for intranet sites); 2 (plug-in use allowed only for trusted sites [default]); all other values (plug-in use not allowed).

    If the registry key is not present, the plug-in is allowed to be used only from trusted sites.

    [#221332]

13. Server might experience a fatal exception displaying a blue screen, on CTXSBX.SYS while streaming applications.

    [#222381]

14. Converting Windows long file names can fail when using Inter-Isolation Communication (IIC). The issue occurs because the wrong file might be returned.

    [#222669]

15. When streaming a profiled package to Version 5.2 of the plug-in, the following error message might occur: "An error occurred while importing the registry settings for your application."

    [#222931]

16. The Virtual IP feature fails with applications that are streamed to server when launched by users who are not configured as administrators.

    [#223843]

17. Office applications can fail to launch on Windows Vista Workstation when the application profiles are linked with other profiles and "Enable user updates" is configured. One of the following error messages might appear: "Runtime Error! ... An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information;" "This application failed to start because MSCVR80.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

    [#224137]

18. Environment variables, for example %username%, fail to expand when defined in the command line parameter of the Profiler.

    [#224577]

19. When invoking Internet Explorer, published in an application isolation environment and as "streamed to server," by clicking an http, https, or mms hyperlink, Internet Explorer does not launch from the isolation environment.

    [#225987]

20. This fix more accurately synchronizes the offline plug-in progress indicator with the actual state of the application update.

    [#226195]

21. When deselecting a postexit script from a profile, the remaining scripts configured for the profile fail to run.

    [#226253]

22. In pooled desktop environments, streamed applications can exit unexpectedly.

    [#227338]

    [#229942]

26. Temporary files created by streamed applications are not removed from the %TEMP% folder if the %TEMP% folder is redirected to a network share.

    [#230974]

27. Configuring SandboxStatusMonitorPeriod with a value of 0 as described in Knowledge Center article CTX123073 causes the RadeLauncher.exe process to consume up to 100% of CPU power, depending on the number of concurrent connections.

    [#231062]

28. The presence of prelaunch or postexit scripts in a profile can cause the offline plug-in to exit unexpectedly.

    [#231234]

    [#232783]

32. The profiler fails to save profiles configured to include DLLs in profile prelaunch or postexit scripts.

    [#233630]

33. In Hot Desktop environments, launching an application profiled to run prelaunch and postexit scripts causes both the prelaunch and postexit scripts to run simultaneously.

    [#233892]
