XenApp upgrade from 6.0 to 65

Hi Guys;
I am trying to do an upgrade from a Xenapp server 6.0 to a Xenapp server 65 using the script "XenApp 6.0 to 6.5 Upgrade Utility".
Everything goes fine until in the process it tries to access the Citrix online pluging !!!
What I don't understand is that it tries to access :

C:\ProgramData\Citrix\Citrix online plug-in\TrolleyExpress.exe

I don't even have any "ProgramData", so I guess that's why it is failing !!!

Thanks for your help.

Hi again Divich :-)

That is referring to the legacy Online Plugin 12.x

If it isn't there, you should be able to comment out any relevant sections - start those lines with a #

Hi Tony, happy to see you back :)
You mean this:

# Local location for legacy Citrix Online Plug-in
# $global:legacyCitrixReceiverPathName = "C:\ProgramData\Citrix\Citrix online plug-in\TrolleyExpress.exe"

Actually you are right I don't have the online plugin installed; just the offline!

Thanks.

You might want to do a quick search for any other references to legacyCitrixReceiverPathName in the script.

Or...it might be easier, as you're turning this into your gold image, to just install the legacy online plugin :)

Hi Tony,
I did what you told me, and not it passes the online plugin step; but stops at :

07/11/2013 13:29:08 Begin Processing...
07/11/2013 13:29:09 Processing script step: 2
07/11/2013 13:29:09 Installing XenApp (Upgrade)...
07/11/2013 13:29:09 FilePath : \\file01\support\XA65_2008R2\XenApp Server Setup\bin\XenAppSetupConsole.exe
07/11/2013 13:29:09 Argument List : /install:XenApp

It seems nothing is happening after the reboot: it stays at the Ctrl alt del step so it doesn't log on!!!
Maybe I have to wait longer???

I attached the log.

Actually I tried that, I installed the receiver but that didn't work!

It only passed the step when I added #

Actually u r right; because I logged in the server and found out that XeanApp65 was installed!
But I think I messed up everything so I reinstalled the snapshot and not I'll give it more time.
I launched the script again.

It's a pain in the backside to be honest - I wrote a 900+ line PowerShell script for the last place that didn't like imaging and wanted a WDS-deployed solution.

When it gets to the installation and config sections of XenApp there is no feedback - I even had to write a popup into the script to warn that the server has not become unresponsive.

Bit of a poor job there from Citrix I feel.

Hi Tony, I don't know what is going on!!!
If you see the logs (Image 1) looks like the install is going to start.

But image 2 shows the Add/remove pgms not much there

And image 3 shows the xenapp server role manager; nothing has been installed!!!
