Prerequisites
§ Version 7.0 or later of the Presentation Server Client/XenApp Plugin for 32-bit Windows is required on the system where the tool is launched.
§ The msstdfmt.dll and comdlg32.ocx files must be registered on the system (if they have not been registered already).
Installing Citrix ICA File Creator
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder.
2. If msstdfmt.dll or comdlg32.ocx are not already present on the computer, register them as follows:
regsvr32 "<path to the file>\msstdfmt.dll"
regsvr32 "<path to the file>\comdlg32.ocx"
You receive the following error message if these files are not registered properly:
"Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
Note: This tool has been tested on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 2 and 3, Windows Vista 32-bit, and Windows Server 2003 32- and 64-bit.
In addition, after the missing comdlg32.ocx was copied from a 32-bit Windows 2003 SP2 server, Citrix Technical Support verified the tool's functionality on a Windows XP SP3 workstation. When copying the missing files to a 64-bit system, place the files in the <root directory>\Windows\syswow64 directory and register the files as previously instructed.
How To Use Citrix ICA File Creator
1. Run ICAFileCreator.exe.
2. Specify the XML Broker address and port and select the type of ICA file to create (to the server’s desktop or a published application).
3. You have the possibility to use TCP/IP browsing instead of the XML service if needed.
4. Specify the check boxes that correspond to the options you want and click Write ICA File to specify the location where the ICA file will be stored.
Note: Selecting the dump all published apps option button creates an ICA file for every published application in the server farm.
If you do not specify an XML Broker, you receive the following error message:
"You must enter a XML server!"
If you select an incorrect XML Broker name (or IP address), an invalid XML port or there is no published application available, the following error message is displayed:
Ensure that your XML and IMA services are functioning.
"There is no published application available or verify broker information"
