If installing Citrix XenDesktop Receiver on any HP Thin Client with Windows XPe *prior* to the most recent release (Build 710) you may get an error, even after removing the original Citrix Client, that it is unable to install because of a previous Citrix Client install still exists…  I didn’t really waste any time on looking for the root cause as to whether it’s caused by the Uninstall routine of the preinstalled Citrix Client or other components…

Here’s the way I got it to work manually:

• Log on as Administrator
• Uninstall the Citrix Program Neighborhood client
• Delete the registry key HKClassesRoot\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\086B4262CB2…. (I didn’t write it all down)
             Search for “Citrix” in RegEdit, It’ll be very near the top
• Install Desktop Receiver Embedded Edition v11.10

The other alternative would be to re-image the device before you start with the most recent release?

And to set the the device to load the logon web page directly, set the registry entry:

• HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
• Shell = c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe –k http://<ddc>/Citrix/DesktopAppliance
