Packaging server application
We are trying to package Office 2003 for citrix server. when we install the raw media of the office 2003 it is self healing everytime a new users logs in. Can anybody tell me a way to rectify this problem in citrix environment. If an application is self-healing for a particular user and at the same time the application is being used by some other user then what will happen?
what all things we need to be take care if an application is to be packaged for a multiuser environment like a citrix server. Kindly give some suggestions.

If you select the Installation Expert Tab and the Package Options -> Administrator Options... Makesure that the "Install for Profile" has per-machine installation selected. Try that and let me know

You can get some good information on this subject from the Citrix support site itself.
Office2003 should only repair (if ever) the first time a new user logs onto that particular server. This is because the MSI is attempting to write the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry information.
When Office2003 is installed properly onto a Terminal Services server, it should write these HKCU keys to the Terminal Services SOFTWARE key stored un the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. When a user logs on, Terminal Services copies these keys over to the HKCU hive for that particular user.
Check the application event log on the server to see which component the MSI is trying to repair/check etc. Then match this up in the MSI, and troubleshoot.
