Windows 10: The JVDI is not seeing the ICA file.

The JVDI is not seeing the ICA file. This is happening after a Citrix upgrade. How do I fix "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client" no Install in the path before the ICA Client.

How to change a .ica file default app

Hi Walter

1

Download an ICA file to your PC

Right click that ICA file, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open ica . . .'

If Edge is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Again if Edge is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate to find Edge in Program Files

If the above does not work, you can break the file association with Internet Explorer as follows:

Open Windows File Explorer

On the view Ribbon (tab) check the box marked 'File Name Extensions'

Close File Explorer

Right click your Desktop and choose New - Text File and when giving it a name, make sure to replace the .txt file extension with .exe

Right click any .ica file, choose open with - Choose another App

IMPORTANT! - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open .ica files'

Scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Again scroll to the bottom and choose 'Find another app on this PC'

Navigate to the dummy file exe on your Desktop and click OK

The .ica file will not open

Important - Delete the dummy exe file on your Desktop and restart your PC

The file association will then be broken!

 

Cannot dissociate Internet Explorer from .ica file

Hi Ricky, right click the .ica file and choose 'Open With'





Click 'More Apps'





If 'Citrix Receiver Client' does not appear in the list, click 'Look for another app on this PC' and navigate to where you installed 'Citrix Receiver Client'

Remember to make sure "Always use this app to open .ica files' is checked before you click 'OK' - this will set the file association
