Harm_VeenstraThanks, but if I run the installer manually it can overwrite the existing installation so not sure why I would need to manually uninstall the older version.  Do you know what this error code means?

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

      And on a system with the old version installed, when you run the install script of the new version manually as administrator.. It does install/update? No prompts?

        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 :lol:
