Citrix Receiver 3.3 - Delivering via Altiris
Hi,
I'm trying to deliver the Citrix Receiver v3.3 client via Altiris using the command line citrixreceiver3.3.exe /silent command. When run locally it works a treat. When I deploy via Altiris it installs silently but produces a config box at the end of the install. I have even created a wise script to copy the .exe to a local location and run with the switch but I get the same result as soon as Altiris calls the .exe.
I know this is a long shot but I thought I would check to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. I'm tearing my hair out!
Thanks in advance

Check out this article by Citrix:
How to Suppress the Add Account Window in Citrix Receiver for Windows 3.x
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135438
Basically, you have multiple chooses in the matter. If you look at Method 2, it shows that you can use the "/ALLOWADDSTORE=N" to suppress the "Add Account" dialog after the installation. I tried it out and it worked for me from our Altiris server. The new Silent Install command would be:
citrixreceiver3.3.exe /silent /ALLOWADDSTORE=N
Let me know if it works for you.

Cannot thank you enough for that. I should have spotted something about that but missed it. I am very grateful for you help. Cheers - elvisgraham 11 years ago

No problem. It was very strange how that occured only through the remote installation, and when I searched the issue, I saw that this was a complaint from many people. Citrix finally came out with the article after it, but I really think they should link to the article in the Production Documentation with the command-line installation instructions. - M P 11 years ago

You're right. It make no sense whatsoever. All switches should be on the list. Thanks again for your help. - elvisgraham 11 years ago

Seems I celebrated too quickly. Started the deployment today and this screen I was trying to avoid has popped up on users screens. The command line I used was CitrixReceiver3.3.exe /silent /ALLOWADDSTORE=N - elvisgraham 11 years ago

How about adding a registry value after the installation like the documentation states and see if that works?
HKLM\Software\Citrix\Dazzle, set AllowAddStore value to N - M P 11 years ago

It seems that the AllowAddStore=N simply prevents a user from adding in an account. If I don't configure one then it'll be a mess. I decided to make life harder for myself by embarking on the nightmare of trying this. I have not succeeded as yet.
In combination with the registry edits we have a silent completely configured deployment.
Command line used: CitrixReceiver3.3.exe /silent STORE0="mystore;http://myapps.corp.com;On"
Registry Settings Injected:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\AuthManager]
"ConnectionSecurityMode"="Any"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Dazzle]
"AllowSavePwd"="A"
"AllowAddStore"="A"
The registry settings work great but an account which is supposed to be http://myapps.corp.com is not working at all. We are running 64 bit as well.
Any suggestions welcome! Has anyone successfully done this? This is not supposed to be this difficult surely? - elvisgraham 11 years ago
