Objective

This article provides information on installing the Citrix Online Web Plug-in for Windows on endpoint devices when using third-party software deployment or scripting solutions.
The Citrix Online Web Plug-in for Windows installation package (CitrixOnlinePluginWeb.exe) is designed for easy deployment using a web page or XenApp Web site; it might be installed with or without administrator privileges on an endpoint device.

  • If the user logged onto the endpoint device is an administrator, the web plug-in installs and is available for all users who log on to the computer.
  • If the logged on user is not an administrator, the plug-in installs and is available for the currently logged on user only; each subsequent user who logs on to the computer must install the web plug-in once initially.

Using Citrix Online Web Plug-in for Windows installation package with third-party software deployment or scripting solutions that use the Run As command to elevate account privilege to Administrator leads to undesirable results. So, it is recommended to use the installation package for the full version of the plug-in (CitrixOnlinePluginFull.exe).

Default components installed with the Web installation package are different than those included with the full plug-in version. For more information on what is included in each plug-in version and for an overview of installation packages, refer https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/receiver/windows/4-3/receiver-windows-install-wrapper/receiver-windows-cfg-command-line-42.html on the Citrix eDocs site.
