Citrix Xenapp 7. 6 File Type Associations not working - Citrix. Hi all, I am currently testing Xenapp 7.
Storefront and Windows Server 2. Most of the things I need for our users are allready working. Unfortunately one of the more important things is not: the client to server conten redirection. I Have a published Desktop in which is running the citrix 4. The receiver is connecting via pass through authentication to the store - which was not easy to accomplish, but somehow i got it running.. When I log into the desktop with a new profile(Citrix Profile Management) it is actually working, meaning: When I open a Windows Explorer and klick on a Word document, citrix receiver opens a new session - like it is supposed to happen I think..
If I open any other document in the explorer- which  has been published in Storefront- these files are also opened in the same session. Now here comes the problem: if I Log off the user and log back in and try to open any document over the Explorer, Word or Adobe Reader or any other program, is not opend via the Citrix Receiver and no new session is created.

Hotfix name: Citrix Receiver for Windows 3.4 Cumulative Update 4 Filenames: CitrixReceiver.exe, CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe, ReceiverEnterpriseMetadata.xml.
But if I start the program over the Receiver, a new session is opend and i have two instances of Office in two different sessions running, that is the real problem. In Storefront I have configured the file type association of course and in the published apps is the parameter KEYWORDS: mandatory set. What I also tried is to use the keyword prefer='application name' but that diddn't help either solve the problem with the two sessions.
Any ideas on this?
