The Citrix client is used to offer a remote desktop, often coupled to a limited (or single) application.  While I need Citrix for things that I do here I hadn’t really considered it commonly used enough to integrate into the standard build.  In recent times there seems to be an increasing use of Citrix and we started getting enough support calls from people asking how they could get this software (or make it work) that I decided to add it to the build disc.  It doesn’t appear to have much impact on those who don’t need it but those who do need it appreciate it being available already.

The Citrix ICA Client can be downloaded from here.  Looking at this link it would appear that I’m now using an out-dated Citrix client although the one I’m using seems to work for most needs I’ve come across out here.

I used this Citrix knowledge base article as a starting point but, in the end, found that all I really needed for my particular use was this:

Ica32Web.msi /passive /norestart

(This article is part of a series about the build disc I use to standardise system builds. The series starts here and this particular article follows on from this one.)
