Installation Instructions for the ICA Win16 Client

See the Citrix ICA Client Administrator's Guide for step-by-step
instructions for installing the ICA Win16 Client.
Limitations and Known Issues
-----------------------------
1. The number of ICA sessions you can have open simultaneously
is limited to three sessions plus the Remote Application
Manager window.
2. Simultaneous audio: If you are running multiple
ICA sessions, you can play sounds on only one
session at a time.
3. If you choose color cursors, they are rendered
in the client window in black and white.
4. If you install a Web browser after installing the
ICA Web Client, you must reinstall the ICA Web
Client. The Web client component (Netscape Plug-In)
needs to be registered with the browser so that when you select
an ICA file in an HTML file, the browser knows what to run to
invoke the ICA file.
5. Multiple-session OS/2 Mode parameter:
When an ICA session is minimized, it goes into a sleep mode,
freeing up system resources for other applications
or sessions. If the user is doing anything in the
session when it is minimized (for example printing or
copying files), session performance slows down.
If the user is connected to the
session through a modem, or is doing a
time-dependent activity, the sleep mode can cause problems.
To increase the user's flexibility in choosing when
the session will sleep (if at all), you can add an
extra flag to the Appsrv.ini file called "OS2Mode."
Add the OS2Mode parameter at the end of the [WFClient]
section of the Appsrv.ini file with one of the
following values:
OS2Mode=0 This results in 100% CPU utilization at all times
OS2Mode=1 CPU utilization drops when the session is minimized
OS2Mode=2 CPU utilization drops when the session
window is out of focus or minimized
Any other value defaults the setting to OS2Mode=0.
By default, the Appsrv.ini file does not contain the OS2Mode
entry and thus defaults to sleep on minimization.
Note: The Citrix ICA Client program group is not created under
OS/2 unless you run the client setup from a full screen
or window session of Win-OS/2.
6. ICA Win16 Client regression:
You cannot connect to a Citrix server using the IPX, SPX, or NetBIOS
protocols after installing version 6.20 of the ICA Win16 Client
(the version shipping with MetaFrame XP, Feature Release 1) in the
following circumstances:
* If you install version 6.20 of the ICA Win16 Client on a client device
and then install an earlier version of the ICA Win16 Client. Attempting to
connect using the earlier version of the ICA Win16 Client will fail.
* If you install and then uninstall version 6.20 of the ICA Win16 Client,
and then install an earlier version of the ICA Win16 Client.
7. To use version 6.20 of the ICA Win16 Client with MetaFrame for Windows
Version 1.8 on Windows 2000 servers, the server must be running Service
Pack 2 for MetaFrame 1.8. If you use version 6.20 of the ICA Win16 Client to
connect to a MetaFrame 1.8 server that is at Service Pack level 1, the
connection will be dropped the next time you attempt to connect.
