Citrix has updated the file at the link that Chocolately uses, so if you uninstall/reinstall or are installing for the first time, you get the latest version of Citrix Receiver.

If Citrix Workspace App is already installed, it exits with error code 40008. This should be handled in the chocolatey installer.

Seems like the Download of the .exe for version 23.9.0.99 is broken. The download from the official page works, but the link to downloadplugins.citrix.com inside of the ChocolateyInstall script is broken.

This is the error Message i get:

The remote file either doesn't exist, is unauthorized, or is forbidden for url 'https://downloadplugins.citrix.com/ReceiverUpdates/Prod/Receiver/Win/CitrixWorkspaceApp23.9.0.99.exe

When i try and follow the link manually i get a 404 as response.

Hi Iain
Consider adding CEB as default to Workspace App LTSR. This is done with the InstallEmbeddedBrowser=Y install parameter.
The reasoning for adding it as default is that it would enable me to create a CEB chocolatey package targeting the LTSR build, just like the one I have for Workspace App CR.

Kind Regards,
Martin

I'm attempting to internalize the citrix-workspace package from the community repo and get the following error:

Citrix Workspace 21.9.1.4048 was release on Oct 4th, could you update the chocolatey package?

Direct download link: https://downloadplugins.citrix.com/ReceiverUpdates/Prod/Receiver/Win/CitrixWorkspaceApp21.9.1.4048.exe

Workspace App 2403 download link has been pulled. Please disable this version in chocolatey, use alternate download method like #30, or update to 2405+ once that is released.

I'll submit a PR for this, per discussions here and here

Challenge

Currently, the package requires a direct unauthenticated download link, which is not necessarily updated as we'd expect it to be.

Possible Solution

We can obtain the download link on the fly from the webpage. The checksum is available too, but my understanding is that's handled manually currently.

Options

❌ Use Invoke-WebRequest (error message about IE engine) (#5)
❌ Use -UseBasicParsing (won't allow for URLs generated via Javascript) (#6)
❌ Use the COM object for InternetExplorer.Application (Example) (#6)
❔ Take a pre-requisite on another cmd line util that parses html?
