Hi All, I want to create a script that will uninstall whichever version of Citrix Receiver is currently installed on the system on which the script is running. It needs to run silently without any user interaction. I have the ReceiverCleanupUtility.exe but it requires user interaction (pressing Y. The Citrix Receiver installation file is a wrapper and is extractable. After extracting, there will be ten separate MSI installer files. For more information how to do this, click here. This results in a collection of MSI files.

Objective

This article describes how to manually install Desktop Studio. This information is provided for reference and situations where the installation needs to be automated at a higher level than it is possible with the main XenDesktop installer.

Note: The preferred option for manual install is to use the product meta-installer to 'extend deployment' and install standalone Studio. The individual manual steps here are the exception only needed for scripted install.

Requirements

• Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0

• Microsoft PowerShell 2.0

• Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
  This is not platform specific and can be installed using the XenDesktop media at SupportDotNet35SP1dotnetfx35.exe or using Windows Update.
  For 7.6 and 7.7 > SupportDotNet451
  For 7.8 onward > SupportDotNet452

• Microsoft Shared Management Objects 2008 R2
  This can be installed using the XenDesktop media at:
  SupportSharedManagementObjectsx**
  where x** is the platform (x86 or x64).
  It is important to select the correct version for your operating system.
  Note: For x64 systems, you need to install both x86 and x64 versions of the files.

1. SQLSysClrTypes.msi
2. SharedManagementObjects.msi

Instructions

After the pre-requisites are installed, the following packages must be installed. All are available from the XenDesktop media and the installation order is not essential. ** (asterisks) are used where a platform decision must be made. It is important to use the correct version for your operating system (x86 or x64).
