Cirtic receiver always downloads ica file to start app

I am new to Citrix, I have had others look at it and they could not figure it out as well. When you right-click a launch. So when you click to launch a desktop or application, and you download the ICA file, what happens when you click to run it? Strange, update to latest version of Receiver or run the cleanup tool and install again.

If that still does not work try a different user account on the same machine generating a new profile is the aim. I ended up downloading the 4. Even though others here are using 4.

Thank you! Hola que tal, mepude loguear bien con citrix, veo las aplicaciones, pero cuando quiero ingresar, descarga el archivo launcher y no se con que programa abrirlo. Probe con internet explorer, con Citrix received y no pude.

Been fighting this for half an hour… time to get down to really basics… and your post saved me some unnecessary time of trial and error for sure. A help that really worked, I was looking for the CitrixConnectionMananger executable, but it was not actually in Windows if it was called wfcrun Thank you.

When I try to launch a Citrix app it just spins and then nothing. I have tried multiple versions of the Receiver, from the latest to pretty old version. This issue seems to be exclusive to Windows 10 but not all systems experience the issue. On my work laptop if I use Chrome it will download the. My home PC non domain joined works identically to my domain joined work laptop. I have tried the file association trick and I have run the cleanup util several times but no luck. Has anyone seen and resolved this issue?

Have you tried Chrome on your main work PC? It sounds odd that the ICA file is not even downloading. Also, you should try logging on as a test user to your main PC a user domain test user who has not logged on before to rule it out being a profile issue. Yes, I have tried Chrome — it spins for a couple seconds then nothing. Firefox too. There is no proxy for the work systems — they connect directly to the Storefront server, and both are running identical copies of McAfee McAfee at home too but a home product.

Absolutely life saver! I searched and searched for a solution for this annoying problem for weeks. It almost felt like some mumbo jumbo ritual I had to go through following their directions to fix the issue, first install citrix, then reboot, then use IE, if the blue Moon aligns with Mars in the third quadrant of the first day of summer you might be able to connect : … totally useless. Anyway, thank you so much for documenting your findings so well.

I really appreciated. Im desperate. This is only happening on my personal laptop Win10 , it works on my work PC Win10 and laptop Win7 with no issues. The default program needs to be Citrix Connection Manager. You could also try creating a new local user account and seeing it it works under that different profile. I have same issue but while opening ICA file it creates a window for Preparing to install but after that not responding.

Run the Receiver cleanup tool and start again with a fresh install. Double-check the associations afterwards as per this guide. I am trying to set up a new computer and when I go to associate. I loaded Receiver and it used to be easy to find the wfcrun Any help would be appreciated.

If you right-click on a. This one little suggestion just saved me after getting completed frustrated with 3 hours of playing with my new computer. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was ready to give up! So glad I came across this thread and kept reading down looking for some morsel of advice that would help me!

The only option is Microsoft Store which most companies will not download from. This MUST be fixed! I see the Change option, but using Windows 10 If I can get hold of an machine will check there but it should not have been removed. Please do not install Citrix from there. It can also cause a problem if Citrix ICA files not opening.

It is my personal experience that the Citrix you install from browser popup is not the full version of Citrix. In my case, it was the root cause that I was not able to open ICA files to launch applications.

Whenever you get the popup to install the Citrix from the browser, just cancel it and install Citrix, by the way, explained in the first solution above. After installation, your ICA files will start working again.

One of the causes of ICA files not being not launched is these files are not tagged to the correct default program in windows. It will also not allow the ICA files to open.
