You can set up a brand-new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment based on CU3 - using the CU3 metainstaller. Before you do that, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the product:

Peruse the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2203 LTSR (initial release) section and pay close attention to the Technical Overview, Install and Configure, and Security sections before you start planning your deployment. Ensure your setup meets the system requirements for all components.

What do I update?

CU3 provides updates to 15 baseline components of the 2203 LTSR. Remember: Citrix recommends that you update all LTSR components of your deployment to CU3. For example: If Citrix Provisioning is part of your LTSR deployment, update the Citrix Provisioning components to CU3. If Citrix Provisioning isn’t part of your deployment, you do not need to install or update it.
