Citrix Xenapp Application Streaming Guide
- Install the Citrix streaming profile onto fresh XP, win 7 machine along with the plug-in for streamed apps.
- Start the streaming profile and chose new profile and go ahead with the creation then you will choose the working directory of app files. Then run the programs and when we open streaming profile, we need to save this profile for winrar app. We need to provide an UNC path on a file server, from where this will be streamed to client machines. Though we install the winrar using streaming profiler, it will never be installed on the local system, check the program files.
- Now we need to publish this new streamed profile to users, so we go to access management console, applications – new – published apps.
