Presentation Server 4.5 Hotfixes Installation Script - Updated 6/11/07 PDF Print
Written by Joe Shonk   
Wednesday, 23 May 2007

Here is a quick and simple script for installing Rollups and Hotfixes on a Presentation Server 4.5.

Simply configure the AppHotfixesPath to match the location were the hotfix files can be found and continue the pattern of set hotfixes=%hotfixes% <New Hotfixes> when adding newer hotfixes.

I thought about parsing the AppHotfixesPath directory for the list but there something to be said about controlling the list via a script.  You may want to dump newer hotfixes in the directory for testing but not have them apply to a production deployment until the hotfixes have be been signed off.  Another obstacle is the naming convention Citrix uses for rollups and hotfixes.  Post-rollup hotfixes will be listed alphabetically before the rollup and the rollup needs to installed first.  Sure, you can rename the rollup but it’ll be an extra process that’ll need to be documented, communicated and maintained.

One more note, after getting burned several times in the past by Citrix's flaky patching process, I have made it a best practice to shutdown the Citrix related services.
