Accessing a local program from Citrix VDI

Solution 1:

You have to enable and configure "Local App Access". However this is only valid for desktop sessions not application sessions.

Local App Access seamlessly integrates locally installed Windows applications into a hosted desktop environment without changing from one computer to another. With Local App Access, you can:

• Access applications installed locally on a physical laptop, PC, or other device directly from the virtual desktop.
• Provide a flexible application delivery solution. If users have local applications that you cannot virtualize or that IT does not maintain, those applications still behave as though they are installed on a virtual desktop.
• ...

Please refer to the description and the configuration.

I linked to the version xendesktop 7.6 because I had to guess what version you are using.
