Citrix Workspace fails to install with code 0x80079C42

Trying to deploy a new version of Citrix Workspace, and one of my machines fails to install with the above error code (0x80079C42). I can't find anything on Microsoft or by Googling it. Anyone that can shed some light on what this error code is for?

    emb3rz did you ever figure this out?  i'm having the same issue.  i think the citrix installer sees an existing version and doesn't want to upgrade it.  not 100% sure though.

      You could use Supersedence with the newer version and do a uninstall of the previous Win32 app in the process?

        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?

    Hi emb3rz, are you still seeing this error?


    The error 0x80079C42 refers to a Win32 app failure.
    Is this app published via Intune Line-of-business (LOB), or wrapped and deployed via Intune Win32?

    If Win32, we have a couple of troubleshooting docs that may help narrow down what's causing the issue: Troubleshoot Win32 app issues. Additionally, reviewing the DeviceManagement Enterprise Diagnostic Provider logs via: MDM Diagnostic Information log from Windows 10 PCs, may also help determine the cause of why the application is failing to install.

    Hope this helps!
