We are using ThinApp 4.6 to virtualize the Citrix XenApp Online Plugin (web) v12 and a Citrix ICA shortcut. The idea is that workstation without a Citrix client installed will be able to run a Citrix application that has been packaged by ThinApp, but I also want users who do have a Citrix client installed locally to be able to use the package as well. Currently that latter part is failing.
When a user launches a .ICA shortcut from the package, and the workstation already has Citrix installed/running, the ICA shortcut is launched using the local Citrix client instead of the packaged Citrix client. That's bad in our case because I have customized registry settings for the packaged Citrix client to take advantage of a Citrix virtual driver that we have written. The local installation of Citrix may or may not have that configuration already in place.
This seems to be caused because the packaged wfica32.exe is called, then realized that there is already a wfica32.exe active on the machine, so it just hands off the request to that already-running (local) wfica32.exe.
Q: Anyone know how to force the 2nd instance of wfica32.exe to run?
Q: Any other ways to solve this that you can think of?
