Important Notes about This Release

  • This release is based on Citrix Receiver for Windows 4.1 (14.1.0.6685). Any known issues in Version 4.1 of the product, except for the specific issues resolved in this release, still apply.
  • Caution! This upgrade does not patch the existing installation - it fully replaces it with a new installation. As a result, uninstalling this package removes the entire component from the computer. If the need arises to revert to an earlier version of the product, you must uninstall this package and then reinstall the earlier version of the product. Reverting to an earlier version of the product might result in the loss of settings you configure while this upgrade is installed.
  • Caution! This release may require you to edit the registry. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Known Issues in This Release

If the SSL and TLS protocols for published applications are enabled on the XenApp server, Kerberos authentication might not work and the smart card does not get detected. [BUG0466164]

HDX 3D Pro

  1. After a few hours of usage, the wfica32.exe process can consume 100% of the CPU when using HDX 3D Pro with the H264 codec and text tracking disabled.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5554]

HDX MediaStream

  1. Attempts to view streaming videos by using a published web browser, such as Internet Explorer, might not work due to a failure in HDX MediaStream Flash Redirection.

    To enable the fix, set the following registry keys:

    • On 32-bit Windows:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\HdxMediaStreamForFlash\Client\PseudoContainer
      Name: FallbackIfFlashNotExist
      Type: REG_DWORD
      Data: 0
    • On 64-bit Windows:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\HdxMediaStreamForFlash\Client\PseudoContainer
      Name: FallbackIfFlashNotExist
      Type: REG_DWORD
      Data: 0

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5278]

  2. With HDX Mediastream for Flash Version 1.0 (First Generation Flash Redirection) enabled, Microsoft Internet Explorer might exit unexpectedly while Adobe Flash Player 11.8 or later is installed.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5421]

HDX Plug and Play

  1. after installing Receiver for Windows 4.0 on Windows XP SP3, USB ports on the docking station can no longer be redirected.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4582]

HDX RealTime

  1. HDX RealTime Webcam Video Compression redirection might fail to support Quarter Video Graphics Array (QVGA) display resolution (320x240) and can cause the wfica32.exe process to exit unexpectedly.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5232]

Installing, Uninstalling, Upgrading

  1. When upgrading to a newer version of Receiver for Windows without being connected to the Internet, the previous version is not completely uninstalled and the installation of the newer version fails.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4896]

Printing

  1. This fix addresses an issue where duplex printing fails when the Universal Printer driver is configured and has to be done manually instead.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#261552]

  2. Attempts to print an HTML document using Internet Explorer 9 can result in garbled output in the Citrix Print Viewer (cpviewer.exe) and the printout for certain type of fonts.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA3962]

Server/Farm Administration

  1. If the StoreFront is configured with an unauthenticated store, Account Discovery might fail when using Receiver for Windows.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LC0004]

  2. This feature enhancement supports auto creation of shortcuts for preferred applications by using a prefer template directory. For these applications, in addition to the existing prefer rules, the Self Service Plug-in searches for the shortcuts in the prefer template directory. If it matches the prefer rules, it copies shortcut to the user's start menu.

    By default, this directory is one of the following:

    • %systemdrive%:\Program Files\Citrix\shortcuts
    • %systemdrive%:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\shortcuts for per user device installation and
    • %systemdrive%:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Citrix\SelfService\shortcuts for per user installation.

    The default prefer template directory location can be specified in the registry.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Citrix\Dazzle or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Citrix\Dazzle
    Name: PreferTemplateDirectory
    Type: REG_SZ
    Data: any path (for example, "%systemroot%:\Shortcuts")

    If the application is subsequently unsubscribed or removed from the store, the shortcut that was copied from the preferred directory is deleted.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LC0005]

Session/Connection

  1. When using Citrix Receiver within a virtual desktop session, attempts to launch XenApp published applications fail and the following error message appears:

    "This version of Citrix Receiver does not support selected encryption. Please contact your administrator. [Error 1029: Invalid DLL load]."

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4743]

  2. With Receiver for Windows 13.4 Cumulative Update 2, when seamless application has focus, the input language on the language bar changes when pressing Alt + Tab to switch active windows.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4963]

  3. With the "Group similar taskbar buttons" option selected on Taskbar and Start Menu Properties on a Windows XP system, launching applications might be slow.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4191]

  4. After upgrading from Version 12.2 of the Citrix online plug-in to Version 3.x of Citrix Receiver for Windows, proxy connections to external Web sites might fail to launch with NTLM proxy authentication enabled.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA3781]

  5. If the user device does not have a connected webcam, attempts to start a published instance of Microsoft Lync 2010 might result in the application connecting and disconnecting several times before establishing a final connection and starting the application. This can occur if you install an application that installs a webcam when no other webcams are installed, such as the Motorola Bluetooth package.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4867]

  6. When starting a published application or a desktop, Kerberos authentication might not work when using pass-through authentication on an IPv4 network. This release fixes the issue for IPv4 networks only.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5026]

  7. This fix addresses audio/video issues related to the Microsoft Lync 2013 VDI Plug-in for Windows. It improves the user experience for Lync users. For more information, see Knowledge Center article CTX138408.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5314]

  8. If the CANcaseXL USB network adapter is redirected into a virtual desktop, it appears to malfunction in Windows Device Manager. This USB device does not support the Citrix USB redirection driver. The VDA requires installation of Fix #LA5022 in order to work properly.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5022]

  9. This fix reworks Fix #LA1257, which fails to fully address the following issue:

    With the Desktop Viewer disabled, a full-screen client session does not adjust the screen resolution of the Virtual Desktop Agent in response to a change in screen resolution on the endpoint.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4000]

  10. When connectivity to a XenDesktop session is lost for an amount of time that exceeds the Session Reliability timeout, DesktopViewer remains onscreen indefinitely. The session itself disappears, as expected, from the Connection Center after the Session Reliability timeout.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4856]

System Exceptions

  1. The wfica32.exe process can exit unexpectedly and the following error message appears:

    "Citrix HDX Engine has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA3964]

  2. The wfica32.exe process can exit unexpectedly and the following error message appears:

    "Citrix HDX Engine has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4695]

  3. The wfica32.exe process might exit unexpectedly when starting a pass-through session from the XenApp 6.5 desktop to a XenApp 4.5 published application.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5193]

  4. If the Multi-Stream policy is enabled, applications can become unresponsive when accessing the COM port.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5543]

  5. In double-hop scenarios, launching Microsoft Outlook or Communicator can cause Receiver for Windows to exit unexpectedly.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4813]

User Experience

  1. When connecting or reconnecting to a session hosted on XenApp for Unix, no screen updates occur for 90 seconds.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5244]

User Interface

  1. A change introduced in Version 12.1 of the online plug-in introduced a delay in the appearance of the connection progress bar for seamless connections. However, for sessions connecting to slower servers, this behavior is not always desirable. This enhancement introduces support for the following registry key that allows you to configure the duration of the delay:

    On 32-bit Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client
    Name: NotificationDelay
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Data: <Delay, in milliseconds>

    On 64-bit Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432node\Citrix\ICA Client
    Name: NotificationDelay
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Data: <Delay, in milliseconds>

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA0678]

  2. After changing the desktop color scheme from the default color blue to other colors, such as Olive Green or Silver (Desktop > Properties > Appearance tab > Color scheme), the text and the background color of Self-service Plug-in become identical, making it impossible to read menu items.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA5121]

Miscellaneous

  1. When using email-based discovery, if the SRV record created on the DNS side includes a port other than 443, the Receiver ignores the port specified in the SRV record and continues to connect to the Access/NetScaler Gateway URL using port 443.

    [From RcvrForWin4.1_14.1.100][#LA4491]
