We have a 5.0 compressed executable that we have placed on a citrix server.

Our client is able to access/run the file from a local host machine but the application fails after 2-3 seconds when attempting to run from the citrix server. We have limited citrix experience/knowledge!

Our application is very basic however a few things it does on open:
1. looks for system date for app expiration reasons
2. reads screen resolution so that it will set window positon to the far right
3. the application 'fades' in (.dll file in the docs folder)

The end goal is that remote users will access their specific file via desktop shortcuts which will run the server based file. :huh

I assume the exec ties to extract itself to a temp folder (on the Citrix server) you may want to ensure you have the necessary rights to this folder.

I would knock out any fancies and gradually build up effects / functions till you find the one that causes the problems.

Thank you. We feel it may be a rights issue as well. Also trying executables with no real functionallity and working our way up.

I appreciate your responding.
