There is a way to allow configuring http instead of https. This can be done by adding/changing the following registry keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\AuthManager (on a 32-bit machine) or
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\AuthManager (on a 64-bit machine)

Under AuthManager create a new String Value (REG_SZ) with the name “ConnectionSecurityMode” and the Data “Any”

AND

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Dazzle (on a 32-bit machine) or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\Dazzle (on a 64-bit machine)

Under “Dazzle” modify the existing data of “AllowAddStore” to be “A”.

I guess it can also be consulted for troubleshooting installation or removal issues with other software.

When trying to install or remove any XenApp Software (including hotfixes and rollup packs), a 1603 Windows error message is displayed.

The following are the possible error messages that are displayed when trying to install or remove any XenApp Software:

Soon Automation Manager 2012 is officially available and not any more as a release candidate. A lot of changes have been made again, thanks to the boys and girls at RES Software. Where in the past they just gave us a .WUP file, upgrade and go, we now have to actively check and upgrade the Automation Manager 2011 before we can upgrade to Automation Manager 2012.

  • Cannot launch a 32bit application packaged with ThinApp on a 64bit platform
  • Launching a 32bit application packaged with ThinApp on a 64bit platform fails with application errors
  • The 32bit application packed with ThinApp on a 64 bit platform fails to launch correctly

Cause

This issue occurs due to differences in the directory pathing and DLL compatibility between 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows.

Resolution

To deploy a 32bit application on a 64bit Windows operating system, you may need to make changes to the application capture.

To ensure that the application launches properly:

  1. If an application natively installs to C:\Program Files\<Program>, customize the installation to C:\<Program>. This prevents Windows from loading a virtual 32bit directory inside the 64bit directory.
  2. If an application utilizes system-installed DLLs located at %SystemSystem%, the DLLs may not properly load from SYSWOW64. Removing the offending DLLs from the ThinApp project folder allows the native DLLs to be used.
  3. Ensure that the %Drive_C%\<Program> folder is set to merged isolation mode in the ##Attributes.ini file. This may resolve any application-specific DLL loading issues. If hard-coded paths exist within the software and the virtual directory does not translate to the correct path that the software is looking for, it may also be necessary to copy any files required by the software to the native path for proper loading.
  4. Recapture the application using the latest available build of ThinApp. Recapturing the application can provide better compatibility than relinking an application captured in an obsolete version of ThinApp.
