Installing Citrix SmartAuditor Administration 1.1.1064

 

While installing the Citrix SmartAuditor Administration i’ll get the following error:

 

 

 

 

 

Workaround

To work around this problem, modify the registry to increase the default time-out value for the service control manager. To increase this value to 60 seconds, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
3. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.

   Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:

   1. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
   2. Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
4. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
5. Click Decimal, type 300000, and then click OK.

   This value represents the time in milliseconds before a service times out.

6. Restart the computer.

Note This workaround may resolve the problem where the service does not start. However, we recommend that you research this problem to determine whether it is a symptom of another problem.

XenApp registry editing “RadeRunSwitches”

If you have trouble with streaming application, you can use the RadeRun Switches.

For example:

If an application needs an component that isn’t their at pre-streaming you can use the option.

-e

Go to:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Rade

Add an REG_SZ with the name RadeRunSwitches

The value you can use:

List of RadeRun Switches that can be placed in the registry:

-c clear the execution cache before the application opens
-C clear the execution cache and per-user cache before the application opens
-d clear the execution cache after the application terminates
-D clear the execution cache and per-user cache after the application terminates
-x execute a command prompt for every launched application (This is useful for debugging.)
-e pre-streams all files for the application to the client. (This pre-streams all application files instead of just the files that are needed at execution time. This is used when all components of an application are needed before the application can start).

Note: Adding the -e switch uses a larger amount of space on the client hard drive because all applications that the user has access to are pre-streamed and not just a particular application.ed applications
