      Hello all together!

      I started to build a little tool, that should help to find the problems before installing/updating the Guest Tools in a Windows VM. For now its only a first start, but it can grow to a very usefull tool.

      Any constructive help or hint is very welcome!

      Later (so my plans) it should be a part of a new Guest Tools Installer.

      GIT repository: https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-installer-ng

        If you have problems to install Citrix(TM) or XCP-ng Windows Guest Tools, please try the first working version of this tool:

        Good

              borzel This looks like a great tool so when complete my studies and ever need to run or update a Windows VM for a client's web application. It will aid in doing so (especially if migrating from Xen Server).

                I just noticed that your cleaner tool doesn't detect the "liteagent.exe" file which is the "XenServer Interface Service".

                    Here's a copy of a script I was using to clean XenTools from XenServer 6.0 I believe. Please include all the reg keys and files mentioned. Thanks!
