Non-admin users must contact their company’s Help Desk/IT support team and can refer to CTX297149 for more information.

Citrix Workspace app is the new universal app for all workspace services, that will encompass all Citrix clients and app capabilities over time.

This article describes how to manually extract, install, and remove individual .msi files from CitrixReceiver.exe OR ReceiverEnterprise.exe.

You can download Citrix Receiver from here.

Instructions

Citrix does not recommend extracting the Receiver (Enterprise) .msi files instead of running the installer packages. However, there might be times when you have to extract the .msi files from CitrixReceiver.exe or CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe manually, rather than running the installer package (for example, company policy prohibits the usage of .exe files). If you use the extracted .msi files for your installation, using the .exe installer package to upgrade or uninstall and reinstall might not work properly.

For Citrix-recommended Receiver (Enterprise) installation methods, refer to Citrix eDocs - Configure and install Receiver for Windows using command-line parameters.

Extract the .msi files

Run the following at command prompt:

For 4.x use: CitrixReceiver.exe /extract [Destination_name, e.g. C:test ]

For 3.x use: CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe /extract [Destination_name, e.g. C:test]
where Destination _name is a complete pathname to the directory into which the .msi files are extracted. The directory must exist already and /extract adds a subfolder called extract to that directory.

For example, if you create a C:test directory and run /extract, the extracted .msi files are put in C:testextract.

Note: If User Access Control (UAC) is enabled, Citrix advises that you install the .msi files in elevated mode. The .msi files are supported per-machine and require administrator privileges to deploy them.
