    System Folders in Citrix Environment

    We have created an update application in SUF7.0.

    This application must add some files to the system folder and register new fonts.

    When we execute this application on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with Presentation server 4.0 the system files and fonts are installed in documents and settings folder.

    I checked the value of thes variables:

    _Systemfolder: c:\windows\system32 (ok)

    Shell.GetFolder(SHF_FONTS): c:\documents and settings\administrator.<domain>\windows\fonts (should be c:\windows\fonts)

    SessionVar.Expand("%WindowsFolder%"): c:\documents and settings\administrator.<domain>\windows (should be c:\windows)

    _WindowsFolder: c:\documents and settings\administrator.<domain>\windows (should be c:\windows)

    I changed the real domain name, this server belongs to, by <domain>

    Is this a bug?

    This is "by design" and at the windows level; not the suf level. When in TS; "things" are different so that a user can't 'screw up' the system -- install from the console and you should be fine.
