VDA install fails on Server 2016

[Chandresh Shah]

Guys ,

I can use some really good help. I am tired tries 5 times but everytime I get blue screen of death

I have brand new Dell Poweredge R730/720 with Windows Ent Server 2016 

I tried installing Delivery controller no issues but every time I click on VDA physical server OS install it installs completes the entire install but then it says it will restart machine and then it never comes back up goes into famous Bluescreen of Death. I end up reinstalling Windows 2016 server OS and then try installing only VDA and does the same server crashes . I am so out of the options and knowledge please help

Try an install without workspace app.  A few versions ago, I had this same problem.  It took me a while to figure out, but it ended up being the workspace app installation was causing BSOD after the final reboot.  The problems that I had were resolved in a newer release, but you didn't mention which version you're running...

Sorry I am running 

XenApp 7.15 LTSR / XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR, Cumulative Update 4

Apr 23, 2019

From this package installing VDA on the server which is running some apps that I need to publish

 

What is workspace app??  Thanks

With LTSR, it's probably still called Citrix Receiver.  Workspace is the new name for it.  You just need to unselect it during the VDA installation.

Hi,

 

Try installing the VDA using command line.

https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/install-configure/install-command.html#command-line-options-for-installing-a-vda

 

Also, before you do that, run the VDA clean up utility in order to uninstall all the VDA components that were previously installed.
