Re: Trouble Launching Apps

So if I understand your problem correctly, the appication can only
be run by the same user that installed it, correct?

This probably means that the application creates the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry settings the first time a
user runs the program, rather than during installation.

The way to avoid this problem is to run the application for the
first time from the Administrator account, immediately after
installation, and WHILE THE SERVER IS STILL IN INSTALL MODE.

If you do so, the registry key and ini-file creation is monitored
by the server and put into the shadow area of the registry. All
users then receive the registry entry and a personal copy of the
ini file in their windows folder, when they run the application for
the first time.

What you can do now to solve the problem is:
* make sure no normal user is logged onto the server
* put the server into install mode (change user /install)
* run the application under an administrative account THAT HAS
NEVER RUN THE APPLICATION BEFORE (create a new one if needed).
* exit the application
* put the server back into execute mode (change user /execute)

I have computers that use both clients (MS and Novell's) - as
this is the only network apps that I run, I can't say if it
happens using anything else. I installed the app using
add/remove programs. That is considered install mode, correct?

Just wondering why I can do the same thing, same configuration
with non-error results on my Win2000TS /Citrix 1.8 server.

The other environments where this app works fine, are they also
using the MS client rather than Client 32? Also, does this
happen for any app that resides on the Novell server? Does this
app have specific local requirements, such as installation that
should be performed when the server is in 'install mode'?

You can use Process Monitor (a tool from MS) to provide
information on access failures due to permissions on the TS.

Oh yes - this apps have been used for years, even currently,
and even currently on an older Win2000TS with Citrix. Seems
there is something on this new server that I have
misconfigured. I only mentioned Netware because
that's what I was working with - and the *.exe's reside on
the netware server. I have installed Office and GroupWise to
the TS server and this user
can access them - perhaps because they are installed locally?

Are you sure the users have permissions on the Novell side?
If they don't,
adding them to Windows Administrators group would not solve
the problem.

Perhaps a little more information could help find an
answer...

If I log onto the server (via Citrix client, MSRDP, or at
the console itself) as admin, I get into the apps without
the permissions error. If I
add the ordinary user into the Administrator group I still
can not get into
the apps. So the administrator group itslef doesn't seem
to have access
while the Admin user itself does.

Greetings All,

After setting up Windows2003TS server with Citrix
Metaframe 3.0, I can successfully have my users connect
to the server via DR or the citrix client.
However, when they attempt to launch an app that resides
on a netware
server
(I'm using the MS client for Netware, not Novell's), I
get the following
error:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or
file. You may not
have
the appropriate permissions to access the item"

The user has rights to Remote Desktop Users. Do they
need to be in aby
other groups? Does the ICA or RDP connections needs to
have specific permissions set? Also, if I try to publish
an application, when I click
Browse to locate the *.exe file, I get no drive letters
past D (when I clearly have F, G, O, etc...)

I'm getting there...

Thanks in advance,
