Citrix Streaming Question, in the Application Streaming forum on BrianMadden.com

I was having an issue where when I tried to stream an application to a Presentation Server the application would launch the Login Screen and then would fail to launch the application upon the user login. It hang while attempting to launch. I was able to correct the problem by forcing the streaming client to download the entire profile. I did this by adding the following key:

HKLM\Software\Citrix\RADE
and adding the following Key String
RadeRunSwitches
The string value is -e

While this works to get this particular application working is there a way to do this on a per application basis? I would rather stream as needed and only have to do this when necessary.

Thanks in advance...

I don't believe you have that option with Citrix Streaming. The option is set at the client level. This will probably be added as the product matures as it is really a gen 1 product. Softricity and thinstall are much more mature products and you can virtualize many more apps than Citrix streaming is capable of.

This is a test reply. Please excuse.

Sorry to bump an older post, but there were some changes in the 1.2 client that make this work differently.  I didn't get to use the 1.1 client very much, but it's my understanding that the -e switch caused the cache to be deployed before opening the application.  Specifically, it would populate the c:\program files\citrix\radecache\<guid> directory.

In the 1.2 client, it deploys it to the users profile isntead of to the rade cahce. 

If you're using this switch and your applications are starting slow, this could be why.
