  1. Make sure the permissions for the Windows folder, subfolder and EXE file are correct.

To manually modify the minimum client version required do the following steps:
  1. Go to \Inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\XenApp\conf and open the Webinterface.conf file with a text editor.(This location could change depending on where the site was created)
  2. Locate the following line
    #ClientIcaWin32=Filename:CitrixOnlinePluginWeb.exe,Directory:Windows,Mui:Yes,ClassID:238f6f83-b8b4-11cf-8771-00a024541ee3
  3. Uncomment it and append the minimum client version , Version:11,0,0(You can add whatever version you like)
