Not sure, it looks like it tells you that the user cancelled the installation? You do run it as system I think?

Correct I run it as system.

BigEHead I _think_ I had the same issue a while ago. It was caused by the .NET framework being 'corrupted'. It worked for all other apps that were on the device but Citrix Workspace somehow didn't want to play nice.
I resolved that by reinstalling it as documented https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/developer/dotnet/framework/general/repair-installation.
DISCLAIMER: not sure it's exactly the same code, but hey, it's worh a shot

- BigEHeadMay 23, 2022Copper ContributorThanks!
- BigEHeadMay 23, 2022Copper ContributorThanks very much! I ran the installer before not using the same script and it worked. But I found other issues with the installer file itself (was same version as one already installed). Started from scratch and now it works. That error code meant it was already installed but I was detecting a new version which is why it was failing. Thanks for responding so quickly!
