[THIN] Re: Argh 4 clicks to get to the Citrix client from Citrix.com

Thats what i have done, I just grabbed a copy of the client, renamed it and dropped in on our own web server.

and speaking of modems (totally OT) I used to work at the Hayes Micro plant in alpharetta GA.  Was working on cleaning out the plant one day and found an Internal Modem with Hand-drawn traces.  WIsh I had been able to keep it.

Think of this as a good thing, this way your users can't download a version that breaks everything! I would highly recommend you put a static link on your web interface and after you have tested a new client put it on your website. You can use the same file name so you don't have to change the HTML....

That would be great if they didn't change the url every week.  I want it to place at the bottom of my WI page so users can get the latest client. Citrix keeps making it harder and harder to find, barring the fact that they rename it every 6 months.
I can't even just point to the downloads page anymore because it keeps changing.

Perhaps you could put:

http://download.citrix.com/FILES/en/products/CPSICAClient10200/Ica32Pkg.msi

into TinyURL or somesuch?
