Introduction

This article applies to installing components on machines with Windows operating systems. For information about VDAs for Linux operating systems, see Linux Virtual Delivery Agents.

This article describes how to issue product installation commands. Before beginning any installation, review Prepare to install. That article includes descriptions of the available installers.

To see command execution progress and return values, you must be the original administrator or use Run as administrator. For more information, see the Microsoft command documentation.

As a complement to using the installation commands directly, sample scripts are provided on the product ISO that install, upgrade, or remove VDAs on machines in Active Directory. For details, see Install VDAs using scripts.

If you attempt to install or upgrade on a Windows OS version that is not supported for this Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops version, a message guides you to information about your options. See Earlier operating systems.

For information about how Citrix reports the results of component installations, see Citrix installation return codes.

- CONTROLLER: Controller
- DESKTOPSTUDIO: Studio
- WEBSTUDIO: Web Studio
- DESKTOPDIRECTOR: Director
- LICENSESERVER: Citrix License Server
- SECUREPRIVATEACCESS: Secure Private Access
If this option is omitted, all components are installed (or removed, if the /remove option is also specified).

(In releases before 2003, valid values included STOREFRONT. For version 2003 and later, use the dedicated StoreFront installation command mentioned in Use the full-product installer).
/onlyprereqs

Only the prerequisites for the selected components will be installed. No Citrix product components will be installed.
/configure_firewall

Opens all ports in the Windows firewall used by the components being installed, if the Windows Firewall Service is running, even if the firewall is not enabled. If you are using a third-party firewall or no firewall, you must manually open the ports.
/disableexperiencemetrics

Prevents automatic upload of analytics collected during installation, upgrade, or removal to Citrix.
/exclude “feature”[,”feature”]

Prevents installation of one or more comma-separated features, services, or technologies, each enclosed in straight quotation marks. Valid values are:

/help or /h

Displays command help.
/ignore_hw_check_failure

Allows the Delivery Controller installation or upgrade to continue, even if the hardware checks fail (for example, due to insufficient RAM). For more information, see Hardware check.
/ignore_site_test_failure

Valid only during Controller upgrade. Usually, any site test failures are ignored and the upgrade proceeds. If omitted (or set to false), any site test failure causes the installer to fail, without performing the upgrade. Default = false

During an upgrade, this option is ignored if an unsupported SQL Server version is detected. For details, see SQL Server version check.
/installdir directory

Existing empty directory where components will be installed. Default = c:\Program Files\Citrix.

/xenapp

Installs Citrix Virtual Apps. If this option is omitted, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is installed.

Examples of installing core components

The following command installs a Delivery Controller, Studio, Citrix Licensing, and SQL Server Express on a server. Firewall ports required for component communications are opened automatically.

\x64\XenDesktop Setup\XenDesktopServerSetup.exe /components controller,desktopstudio,licenseserver /configure_firewall

The following command installs a Citrix Virtual Apps Controller, Studio, and SQL Server Express on the server. Firewall ports required for component communication are opened automatically.

\x64\XenDesktop Setup\\XenDesktopServerSetup.exe /xenapp /components controller,desktopstudio /configure_firewall

The following command installs a Delivery Controller, Secure Private Access, and SQL Server Express on a server. Firewall ports required for component communication are opened automatically.

\x64\XenDesktop Setup XenDesktopServerSetup.exe /xenapp /components controller,secureprivateaccess /configure_firewall

Use a standalone VDA installer

Citrix account credentials are required to access the download site. You must either have elevated administrative privileges before starting the installation, or use Run as administrator.

Download the appropriate package from Citrix:
- Multi-session OS Virtual Delivery Agent: VDAServerSetup_xxxx.exe
- Single-session OS Virtual Delivery Agent: VDAWorkstationSetup_xxxx.exe
- Single-session OS Core Services Virtual Delivery Agent: VDAWorkstationCoreSetup_xxxx.exe
Either extract the files from the package to an existing directory first and then run the installation command, or simply run the package.

To extract the files before installing them, use /extract with the absolute path, for example C:\YourExtractFolder\VDAWorkstationCoreSetup.exe /extract %temp%\CitrixVDAInstallMedia. The directory must exist. Otherwise, the extract fails. Then in a separate command, run the appropriate command, using the valid options listed in this article.
- For VDAServerSetup_XXXX.exe, run <extract folder>\Extract\Image-Full\x64\XenDesktop Setup\XenDesktopVDASetup.exe
- For VDAWorkstationCoreSetup_XXXX.exe, run <extract folder>\Extract\Image-Full\x64\XenDesktop Setup\XenDesktopRemotePCSetup.exe
- For VDAWorkstationSetup_XXXX.exe, run <extract folder>\Extract\Image-Full\x64\XenDesktop Setup\XenDesktopVDASetup.exe
To run the downloaded package, run its name: VDAServerSetup.exe, VDAWorkstationSetup.exe, or VDAWorkstationCoreSetup.exe. Use the valid options listed in this article.

If you are familiar with the full product installer:

Run the standalone VDAServerSetup.exe or VDAWorkstationSetup.exe installer as if it was the XenDesktopVdaSetup.exe command in everything except its name.
The VDAWorkstationCoreSetup.exe installer is different, because it supports a subset of the options available to the other installers.

Command-line options for installing a VDA

The following options are valid with one or more of the following commands (installers): VDAServerSetup_xxxx.exe, VDAWorkstationSetup_xxxx.exe, and VDAWorkstationCoreSetup_xxxx.exe.

For more details about options, see Install VDAs.

Examples of installing a VDA

Install a VDA with the full-product installer:

The following command installs a VDA for single-session OS and Citrix Workspace app to the default location on a VM. This VDA will be used as an image and use MCS to provision VMs. The VDA will register initially with the Controller on the server named Contr-Main in the domain mydomain. The VDA will use user personalization layer and Windows Remote Assistance.

\x64\XenDesktop Setup\XenDesktopVdaSetup.exe /quiet /components vda,plugins /controllers "Contr-Main.mydomain.local" /enable_hdx_ports /includeadditional "user personalization layer" /mastermcsimage /enable_remote_assistance

Install a single-session OS VDA with the VDAWorkstationCoreSetup standalone installer:

The following command installs a Core Services VDA on a single-session OS for use in a Remote PC Access or VDI deployment. Citrix Workspace app and other non-core services are not installed. The address of a Controller is specified, and ports in the Windows Firewall Service will be opened automatically. The administrator will handle restarts.

VDAWorkstationCoreSetup .exe /quiet /controllers "Contr-East.domain.com" /enable_hdx_ports /noreboot

Customize a VDA

After you install a VDA, you can customize several settings. From the \x64\XenDesktop Setup directory on the product media, run XenDesktopVdaSetup.exe, using one or more of the following options, which are described in Command-line options for installing a VDA.

/reconfigure (required when customizing a VDA)
/h or /help
/quiet
/noreboot
/controllers
/portnumber port
/enable_hdx_ports

Troubleshoot VDAs

In the Studio display for a delivery group, the Installed VDA version entry in the Details pane might not be the version installed on the machines. The machine’s Windows Programs and Features display shows the actual VDA version.
After a VDA is installed, it cannot deliver apps or a desktop to users until it registers with a Delivery Controller.
