NFuse Installation

1. Create a new folder in windows explorer.
2. Copy the "citrix" folder into that new folder
3. In IIS manager, create a new website and point to the new folder as the home directory.
4. Find out the WSVC server number of the new web site by looking at the Properties of the website, on the "web site" tab, then "properties" at the bottom, at the bottom again look at the setting called "log file name" the number will be next to W3SVC# (that is the number you need for the next steps.
5. Go to CTX875451 to get a script called the Metabase fix.
6. Open the file called NfuseMetabase.vbs with notepad and find the line : [ location = "IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/ROOT" & path ] change the number from /1/ to the number in step 4 and then save it.
7. Run the metabase fix at the command line with the following syntax [ cscript NFuseMetabaseFix.vbs /Citrix/NFuse17 ] pointing to the nfuse 17 folder and then [ cscript NFuseMetabaseFix.vbs /Citrix/NFuseadmin ] nfuse admin folder.
9. Edit the nfuse.conf file to make sure that the value [ URLMapping./=c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot ] is = to what ever the web site's home directory is ... to avoid icon cache error. After editing the file save and restart the web services.
