This script will uninstall ALL versions of Citrix online plugin AND Receiver and then install Citrix Receiver, it should work for any version of Receiver but I wrote it for 3.4.
The script should work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, and Windows 2008 R2 but I haven’t tested it on all so let me know if you get an issues.

It first kills the processes that can prevent uninstall and then at the end it checks that PnSson is in the network binding provider order as I have been having problems with this and it stops single sign on working.

Try the following to resolve local client issues with Citrix Workspace App (former Citrix Receiver client): Run the Citrix Receiver Cleanup utility to fully uninstall the existing Citrix Receiver installation. If you are running a Citrix Receiver or Workspace App later than 4.4 version, the Citrix Cleanup Utility is not required. Locate Citrix Receiver in the list of apps in the main window. Check the box next to it. Press Uninstall. Citrix Receiver will now be uninstalled and all its associated files removed from your Mac. Citrix Receiver is a popular tool for running virtual desktops on a Mac. However, it has now been superseded by Citrix Workspace.

Under the ##InstallReceiver section you need to edit

• It doesn't appear in my list of programs, or in the uninstall program in the control panel. Or in Revo's uninstall app that I have. Any ideas where this version of Citrix Receiver is lurking, and how I can uninstall it? BTW, this all may have started after a Windows update.
• This vid explains how to uninstall Citrix Receiver manually. Plz use this app uninstaller PRO@ if you are having.

$InstallFiles= Enter the full path to the CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe. N.B This path needs to be in your I.E Local intranet sites to prevent a Open File – Security Warning appearing
$ArgumentList= Add or remove all your required features including updating SERVER_LOCATION with the path to your services site. I have included the options I use

See eDocs for the command line install options
