You can set up a brand-new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment based on CU5 - using the CU5 metainstaller. Before you do that, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the product:

Peruse the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2203 LTSR (initial release) section and pay close attention to the Technical Overview, Install and Configure, and Security sections before you start planning your deployment. Ensure that your setup meets the system requirements for all components.

What do I update?

CU5 provides updates to 15 baseline components of the 2203 LTSR. Remember: Citrix recommends that you update all LTSR components of your deployment to CU5. For example: If Citrix Provisioning is part of your LTSR deployment, update the Citrix Provisioning components to CU4. If Citrix Provisioning isn’t part of your deployment, you do not need to install or update it.
