XenDesktop problem with Windows 7 N / KN version

0 Shares

I recently downloaded Windows 7 Enterprise N from MSDN because it was on the top of the list and N means Norwegian, right! No, the Windows 7 N version is another EU thing, which means Windows 7 without Media Center / Player. If you are going to install XenDesktop on a Windows 7 N version I highly recommend installing Media Feature Pack before the XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA).

I installed XenDesktop VDA on the machine and after reboot the files ctxidhlp.exe and picatzrestore.exe complain about missing MF.dll every 5 second. Error message “C:WindowsSystem32MF.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error”. After installing Media Feature Pack all the popup messages went away. Thank you very much EU!

  1. we had this issue, it started to give error messages when starting App-V package Internet Epxlorer.

    instead of rebuilding the entire image, we set the vdisk back to private mode, and copyed the files missing from my own windows 7 workstation.
