Dear experts,
we are having a severe problem with PB 4.2-generated thin
client platform. Here is the scenario
1. A new installation of Platform Builder 4.2 full
retail. Installed side by side with PB 4.1 on the same
machine with Win 2k Advanced Server OS.
2. The included with PB 4.2 Citrix ICA client setup
was ran and expanded into one of the folders within PB 4.2
tree.
3. A simple Thin Client with IE project was created
within PB 4.2 and Citrix ICA client was added to it ( the
same way as we always did in PB 4.1). It brings ICA client
version 6.20 in addition to RDP client which is included
by default when you use PB 4.2 wizard for thin client
project. Target platform is Nat'l Semi Geode, x86, using
the included BSP from PB 4.2 catalog.
4. Debug and Release builds are made, using [v]
Enable Depth Tree and a Rebuild Platform Command from PB
4.2 menu. Builds with no errors and usual warnings from
ICA .dll files, when including them into image. So far so
good !
5. Connect to target platform using loadcepc on
target it launched the typical setup wizard for thin
client. After completing several steps a normal thin
client shell appears, with a default Web Connection entry
already included.
6. Launching this web connection brings full screen
IE with some default web page ( like msn.com)
7. type in our NFuse Citrix server like
http://market/ . This a local LAN server, IE finds it
fine, opens the usual NFuse login screen. Type in
credentials and you are in !
8. Here comes interesting stuff - we have several
published apps, including some simple ones, like Wordpad,
Notepad and Excel. They all visible on web page after
successful NFuse login. When I launch any such application
by clicking on it, it come out with warnings do you want
to download and save this app or to run it from its
location ? Choose run. Then full screen MS Word appears.
Again all looks good, but .
the following is observed in kernel debugger output window
in PB :

9. Here comes the severe error : type in something
in that MW word session - like for a example a word Test.
On the screen you will see Zj]z !
And all the text is scrambled like this and any published
app becomes unusable.
Has anyone seen a problem like this ?? We are suffering
from it and if not fixed, will have to abandon CE 4.2
development, since the use of Citrix ICA client is a must
for our customers.
We have many builds of PB 4.1 and use the same ICA client
with it and the same NFuse server and NO such problem
occurs, all runs properly.
Is there anything changed from PB 4.1 to PB 4.2 in such a
way that it broke Citrix ICA functionality ??
Please reply if you have seen such error or heard about
it !
Sincerely
Sergei
