I'm trying to create a .msi that installs the PNAgent client. I got through the basics of creating one, but I'm having some confusion on the finer details. So hopefully someone can help me out or point me towards a source.

1. I want to setup secondary URLs for the agent, but I don't understand what Admin Guide means by "Add the following .MSI property...." for adding secondary URLs.

2. Is there a way to setup a PNA client so it only displays a specific published application, and not everything the user might have access to? My situation is that someone might be using the PNA on the network to access the specific application I want to publish, but they also have access to other applications because they are setup to come in via the Web Interface to telecommute. But when they are on the network using the PNA I only want them to be able to use the one application.

3. Is there a way to configure session idle timeouts for only the PNA sessions, or on that one application?

Thanks

OK well I figured out most of what I needed to do on this. For the secondary URLs you go to the properties(right click) of the .msi file. On the Custom tab there are some options to add a "property". I did this with the entries the Citrix document said to use and added a second URL pointing to the second server in our farm. I didn't know how to add yet another one because you can't add another entry with the same name, and I didn't know how to deliniate the single one for multiple URLs. But 2 should be good enough.

I can not find a way to do the other options I needed done. Hopefully when we install and setup AAC we can do those things. I'm just hoping having a 10 connection limit to the application with no time-outs doesn't cause problems.

I was able to edit the .msi using Microsoft Orca and remove the shortcut it adds to the Startup and Desktop folders. This made things more lean and didn't clutter the desktop with extra icons.
