Hey Romanitho!

Thanks again for this wonderful product, you are superstars.
We are trying to replace our win32 apps in Intune with winget installation of our Citrix, however have some issues getting it to work.

This is the parameter we would install it with without using winget:
"%~dp0CitrixWorkspaceFullInstaller.exe" /silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0="Work Account Store;https://citrix.ctxexample.net/Citrix/CTXExampleCom/discovery;On;CTX Example Com 7.xx"
It works well.

I am writing it like this in the winget install command:
powershell.exe -File winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override "/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0="Work Account Store;https://citrix.ctxexample.net/Citrix/CTXExampleCom/discovery;On;CTX Example Com 7.xx"""

And it seems there is a problem with the number of "" symbols, but we need the "" symbols in the parameters, as we have spaces in our citrix store.

Can you help me out please?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Escaping with \ as in https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install?tab=readme-ov-file#use-winget-native-parameters works well, but your extra "" because you have spaces in your store complicates it...
...change your store name maybe?

powershell.exe -File winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override "/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0=""hidden hidden hidden;https://citrix.hidden.net/Citrix/HiddenHiddenHidden/discovery;On;Hidden Hidden Hidden 7.xx""""

Can you tell if I am doing something wrong?

Yes, you're definitely doing it wrong. You must escape with \:
powershell.exe -File winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override \"/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0=\"\"hidden hidden hidden;https://citrix.ctxexample.net/Citrix/HiddenHiddenHidden/discovery;On;Hidden Hidden Hidden 7.xx\"\"\""

Sorry, I wrote it wrong in the comment! This is what I have been trying:
powershell.exe -File winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override \"/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0=\"\"HIDDEN Hidden Hidden;https://citrix.hidden.net/Citrix/HIDDENHiddenHIdden/discovery;On;HIDDEN Hidden Hidden 7.xx\"\"\""

Copying your command into my powershell gives this result:
PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\downloads\source> powershell.exe -File winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override \"/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0=\"\"hidden hidden hidden;https://citrix.ctxexample.net/Citrix/HiddenHiddenHidden/discovery;On;Hidden Hidden Hidden 7.xx\"\"\""

Please allow me to apologize for making three comments, and then afterwards consolidating them into one.. I got a bit confused on why it was removing my \ symbols, until I put it into code text.

KnifMelti Oct 31, 2024

Well, then I can't help you anymore. The string I created works for me.

I understand. I really appreciate your time and help with this! I apologize for being a special case.
Not sure why it won't work on my end, but it works on yours.. I am trying the exact same command as you gave me, with the same info:

powershell.exe -File .\winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override \"/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0=\"\"Work Account Store;https://citrix.ctxexample.net/Citrix/CTXExampleCom/discovery;On;CTX Example Com 7.xx\"\"\""

Doesn't work for me. Thanks again so much.

If anyone else has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it.

Have you got the latest from https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install/releases ?

powershell.exe -File winget-install.ps1 -AppIDs "Citrix.Workspace.LTSR --override \"/silent /includeSSON /EnableCEIP=false /AutoUpdateCheck=disabled /noreboot ALLOWADDSTORE=A STORE0=\"\"hidden hidden hidden;https://citrix.ctxexample.net/Citrix/HiddenHiddenHidden/discovery;On;Hidden Hidden Hidden 7.xx\"\"\"":

Running as SYSTEM with above string (but with -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File C:\VirtualTest\winget-install.ps1):

Gives:

Can't give you anymore.

The culprit here is that you're running this from a PowerShell CLI (regarding the quotes etc.).
This should be run from Command Prompt (Run as administrator) like SYSTEM is installing things from SCCM/Intune calling powershell.exe with parameters.
The best way is to use https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/advanced_run.html emulating a SYSTEM install

Your instructions have made this installation work absolutely flawlessly!

I do now however have a new problem, which I believe has nothing at all to do with winget-install, but all to do with winget in general, and hope maybe you have some insight you could help me with...

I am installing this software with winget-install: Citrix.Workspace.LTSR

But once the program is installed, winget list sees it as Citrix.Workspace and not Citrix.Workspace.LTSR
This makes our winget-autoupdate, update it to the newest available workspace version, but we want to stay exclusively on LTSR version.

Can you help me find out some way to go about this?

I REALLY appreciate your knowledge, and I wish I could pick your brain or use you as copilot instead of actual copilot. 🫡

KnifMelti Nov 1, 2024

Glad my contribution solved your dilemma!

First of all, a company shouldn't be using WAU with Blacklist (excluded_apps.txt).
You should get in control and use Whitelist (included_apps.txt), thereby making sure that all the apps have been tested for updating before they are put in the list!

Secondly, Workspace App nowadays has its own service for upgrading so it shouldn't be managed with WAU.
https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-windows/install.html#command-line-based-installation
You must use the installation command AutoUpdateStream=LTSR to update to that version!

As an example, here's my installation for my company (traditional exe-installation from SCCM):
"%~dp0CitrixWorkspaceFullInstaller.exe" /forceinstall /silent /noreboot /includeSSON ROOTDRIVE=C:\ AutoUpdateCheck=auto DeferUpdateCount=3 EnableCEIP=False DisableSetting=3 ENABLEPRELAUNCH=True STORE0="HIDDEN;https://HIDDEN.cloud.com/Citrix/Store/discovery;On;HIDDEN" ADDLOCAL=ReceiverInside,ICA_Client,BCR_Client,USB,DesktopViewer,AM,SSON,SelfService,WebHelper

As it is, blacklist Citrix.Workspace* in WAU and let Citrix service manage the updates!

Thanks so much for putting time and energy into my situation.

As it is right now, we are an organization of 800 devices, and we are using WDAC (Windows Defender Application Control) and our IT Security department doesn't like when apps update by themselves, we must use Intune to do everything - which is why I was hoping we could get WAU to do this for us, but only the LTSR version.

However, you have helped me so much and taught me so much as well, I am so incredibly appreciative. You are the absolute best. 🫡

KnifMelti Nov 1, 2024

Just a notice.
Updating from WAU is the same as letting Citrix update itself.
It's a download in SYSTEM context and executing of an installer (every application has its own) locally on every computer, surely your Security department can whitelist the Citrix engine/service, as they must have done with WAU (or they haven't)...
...with your persuading manners it's an easy task to socially be engineering that? 😉
