Hi All
Another free application that's targeted at administrators who run multiple OS Architectures (x86
and x64) in Citrix and Terminal Server and want to publish only one application to call the program
that is associated with the specific platform the user has logged on to. Download it as always for
free at Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy - http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_TSUtils.htm
XLaunch is a command-line utility that uses a single executable to launch.
programs based on 32 bit or 64 bit OS Platforms.
This utility was written to allow similar applications from different
platforms to be executed from one shortcut. In a Citrix environment that
utilizes Published Applications across different OS Architectures, this
program allows the use of a single published application to launch OS
Architecture specific programs that are similar in application.
Usage:
XLaunch [32 Bit Application] [64 Bit Application] [/?]
[32 Bit Application] - Path to the 32 bit Application executable.
[64 Bit Application] - Path to the 64 bit Application executable.
/? - Show this help file
XLaunch without parameters will display this help file
E.G. XLaunch "c:\Program Files X86\Office11\EXCEL.EXE" "c:\Program Files X64\Office12
\EXCEL.EXE "
This command will launch the 32 bit version of Excel if running on an x86
OS or the 64 bit version of Excel if running on x64.
E.G. XLaunch c:\Myprogs\My32BitApp.exe c:\Myprogs\My64BitApp.exe
This command will launch My32BitApp.exe if running on an x86 OS or
My64BitApp.exe if running on x64.
E.G. XLaunch "c:\Program Files X86\Office11\EXCEL.EXE H:\MySheet.xls" "c:\Program Files X64
\Office12\EXCEL.EXE H:\MySheet.xls"
This command will launch the 32 bit version of Excel if running on an x86
OS or the 64 bit version of Excel if running on x64. It will also open the
spreadsheet H:\Mysheet in both instances.
This utility is FREEWARE and was written by Warren Simondson of
Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy, Australia. www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au
Although written for Terminal Server and Citrix environments, this application
will function on non-TS/Citrix workstations and servers.
