I need to install an earlier version of Citrix (this is the supported version for my work) and get the message that it is not the latest version and that Citrix recommends installing the latest version. The only option avaialable from this pop-up is 'OK'. This aborts the installation. How do I get the option to continue the installation? Click Citrix Receiver in the list of applications, then click Uninstall. Once all Citrix applications are uninstalled, verify that the following folders no longer exist on your workstation. Rename any of the folders that you find. To rename a folder, right-click and choose rename, then add '.old' to the end of the folder name. May 08, 2018 Citrix Receiver is probably the most well-known product from Citrix as all users have to install it on their personal devices. Receiver is not new to being renamed as it had many previous names. Originally named ICA Plugin, then Citrix Online Plugin or Offline Plugin, Citrix officially transitioned to the name “Receiver” in 2009.
If a new Receiver version is released and you want to offer it to users via Receiver for web you can follow the below tips on replacing the old Receiver with new. (Lets face it, there are frequent updates to the Receiver client so it is possible you’ll want to do this).
If users that have no Receiver client on their machines navigate to Receiver for Web, they are pompted to install Citrix Receiver by default. The user can choose to log on and skip installing, using Receiver for HTML5. If the user chooses Install then they get a copy of the version currently present on the StoreFront server(s).
To update:
- Obtain your CitrixReceiver.exe file (latest version) online from Citrix
- On every StoreFront server part of the Server Group navigate to C:Program FilesCitrixReceiver StoreFrontReceiver ClientsWindows. (or Mac for Mac clients)
- You will find the currently present CitrixReceiver.exe file in the directory. Just replace that file with your desired version and you are good to go
Citrix Receiver For Windows
If users use Citrix Receiver for Windows 4.8 and above, the client can automatically update. Auto-update is turned on by default in these versions. See https://www.jgspiers.com/citrix-receiver-windows-auto-update for more information.

Citrix Workspace App (formerly Citrix Receiver) is the client component of XenDesktop and XenApp, developed by Citrix Systems. It was released initially in 2009.
Product overview[edit]
Citrix Receiver is the client component of XenDesktop or XenApp.[1] Devices with Receiver installed are able to access full desktops via XenDesktop or individual applications via XenApp from a centralized host, such as a server or cloud infrastructure.[2] The product's intended users are employees.[3]
Citrix Receiver is not a standalone product and is included with XenApp and XenDesktop.[4]
Reviews praised Citrix Receiver's reasonably fast loading time[5] and flexibility in allowing remote desktop access from many different computer and mobile platforms.[6] However, reviewers also criticized the iPhone version of the software for the difficulty of formatting text and prolonged typing, tasks that normally required a keyboard and mouse.[6] The iPad version had similar accessibility issues, and the performance of Flash applications was very limited.[5] As a remedy, Citrix developed a mouse for iOS devices.[7]
Update from the Citrix website:[8]
As of August 2018, Citrix Workspace app has replaced Citrix Receiver.Citrix Workspace app is a new client from Citrix that works similar to Citrix Receiver and is fully backward-compatible with your organization’s Citrix infrastructure. Citrix Workspace app provides the full capabilities of Citrix Receiver, as well as new capabilities based on your organization’s Citrix deployment.
History[edit]
Prior to Receiver, Citrix had a different client for each of its products. The company developed Receiver to handle the management of those clients.[9] Citrix Receiver was announced in 2009 and the first version became available later that year.[10] Citrix Receiver won several mobility awards after its release, including a CRN Appy and 'Best of Interop' award for Wireless & Mobility in 2011,[11] and a Global Mobile Award in 2012.[12] As of August 2018, Citrix Workspace app has replaced Citrix Receiver[13]
