Group policy is blocking the installer from running in app data ( due to security) Help!

We cant run go to assist since yesterday, no changes our side, could it be that the installer location has changed to users/appdata ?

    Thank you. I will add that path to the cryptolocker exception list as soon as I can see the full path.

    The current install path that the opener installed to on my machine is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GoTo Opener".

    That path is not blocked. Users cannot run exe's from their profile and that is what is blocked. Please fix, go back to the previous launcher

    This is how the paths are changing:

    Install paths

    • Windows: Change from %PROGRAMFILES%\Citrix\Product\ to %PROGRAMFILES%\Product\
    • Windows: Change from %PROGRAMDATA%\Citrix\Product\ to %PROGRAMDATA%\Product\
    • Windows: Change from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Citrix\Product\ to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Product\
    • Windows Start Menu: Change from the product shortcut being within a Citrix folder to not being in a folder

    Temp files and logs

    • Windows per-user: Change from %TEMP%\CitrixLogs\ to %TEMP%\LogMeInLogs\
    • Windows per-user: Change from %TEMP%\CitrixDumps\ to %TEMP%\LogMeInDumps\
    • Windows per-user: Change from %TEMP%\CitrixUpdates\ to %TEMP%\LogMeInUpdates\
    • Windows per-machine: Change from %PROGRAMDATA%\CitrixLogs\ to %PROGRAMDATA%\LogMeInLogs\
    • Windows per-machine: Change from %PROGRAMDATA%\CitrixDumps\ to %PROGRAMDATA%\LogMeInDumps\

    The old installer installer was not a .exe. Like others on this forum, our users cannot run exe files. Is there a chance that the launcher will be revered back to the old style? We have hundreds of computers and this is already a nightmare. We are exploring other products at this time as well due to the number of machines that we cannot reach now.

    Hi John, all of our software has run from the user's profile since Microsoft introduced that structure in the most recent versions of Windows.

        The link has been updated. The install paths will be updated at a latter date as they no longer include Citrix in the path.

    I have had the Cryptoblocker prevention running for a number of years and never had a problem with GotoAssist ( FastSupport ) now users cannot launch the application ( they are not installing it just running ).  please fix so that it works as it did.

        I'm very sorry, the local appdata folder is required in order to launch the GoToMeeting application during the web browser flow.

         

        Have you considered the Multi-User MSI at all?
