03/09/2023, 2:05 PM2203? I know some of those switches were deprecated in 2209...have you tried an /exclude switch for it?

Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:06 PMplugins is excluded in his command line... but that's completely unnecessary, since it's not a default component.
g
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:06 PMExactly...
j
James Rankin
03/09/2023, 2:06 PMAh sorry, didn't spot plugins....

Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:06 PMSo I can't see why it tries to install it anyway.

Webster Webster
03/09/2023, 2:06 PMIt wouldn't hurt to try adding an exclude for it for testing
g
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:06 PMExcluding it was a feeble attempt of testing it.
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:07 PMWe have tried excluding it, no go.

03/09/2023, 2:07 PMhmmmm

03/09/2023, 2:07 PMHaven't check the logs for any other VDA versions, so I'm not sure if this is a new thing with 2203 CU2
n
Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:09 PMI have not seen that in 2203 CU2 at all, and I've done my fair share of installations while testing it recently.
Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:10 PMWhat does the actual 'XenDesktop Installation.log' say? The one you posted is an SCCM log.

James Rankin
03/09/2023, 2:10 PMYeah I had no problems until 2209

03/09/2023, 2:11 PMIt shows that it tries to install CWA, allright...

03/09/2023, 2:12 PMBut, it seems like the VDA actually gets installed.
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:13 PMSCCM freaks out of course, since it doesn't get its prettly little "Installation successful" in return. 😛

Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:14 PMDoes running that exact command line manually produce the same results?
g
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:16 PMSeems like so, yes, but I would have to try again to be sure. Can't see that it would make much difference, it would be the same installer with the same install paramters.
n
Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:16 PMWait a second, you're missing /components VDA
Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:16 PMI bet if you leave that out, it installs both by default.

03/09/2023, 2:17 PMHey...I do believe you right...
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:18 PMI have that in some other scripts that I use to create golden images, but seems like that it wasn't included here... gotta go talk to my man in the apps team here... 😛

Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:26 PMTurns out the same mistake was also present in a different script here, so it might be that I did some copy/paste errors here. Will teste and let you know.
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:45 PMThanks guys... /components vda was it, of course. Just completed a test install here now, and there's no mention of workspace app in the xendesktop installation log.

03/09/2023, 2:47 PMpsych fist bump

Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:47 PMFunny though... the script (InstallVDA.bat) that Citrix includes in the install media that they claim is for "installation and upgrade" of the VDA doesn't really works. It updates some components, but not all it seems. And the version number of the installed VDA is unchanged... but hey, we've discussed silent upgrades of the VDA here before...
n
Nick Panaccio
03/09/2023, 2:49 PMI refuse to trust any new installation that comes in the form of a batch file. It's not 1993.
g
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:51 PMWell... that could be a discussion for a different day. The problem with batch scripts is the lack of log handling. Most of the installvda.bat script consists of log handling and copying... like 98% it seems. 😛
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:51 PMAnd its 955 lines long, lol.
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:52 PMAnd you need access to the complete isntall media for CVAD to use it, not only the vda install file....
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:54 PMAnyways... once more, thanks for the feedback and help. I'll loiter back to my corner now and contemplate my inability to do copy and paste in silence... 😛

03/09/2023, 2:55 PMCitrix would only create that monster batch file if a big-money customer demanded it. Citrix is not one to waste time and money on "silly things" like batch files.
g
Geir Sandstad
03/09/2023, 2:56 PMWell, somebody probably paid good money for it.
