Register browser add-ons
The Internet Explorer browser add-on is required for bidirectional content redirection.
You can use the following commands to register and unregister the Internet Explorer add-on:
- To register the Internet Explorer add-on on a client device: <client-installation-folder>\redirector.exe /regIE
- To unregister the Internet Explorer add-on on a client device: <client-installation-folder>\redirector.exe /unregIE
- To register the Internet Explorer add-on on a VDA: <VDAinstallation-folder>\VDARedirector.exe /regIE
- To unregister the Internet Explorer add-on on a VDA: <VDAinstallation-folder>\VDARedirector.exe /unregIE
For example, the following command registers the Internet Explorer add-on on a device running Citrix Workspace app.
C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe/regIE
The following command registers the Internet Explorer add-on on a Windows Multi-session OS VDA.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\System32\VDARedirector.exe /regIE
