    Problem Cause

    This issue is not regarding Citrix XenApp. The same error and behavior occurs if the user starts the Google Chrome browser through Microsoft RemoteApp technology. The application starts but the same error appears, however when starting a Remote Desktop application, it starts without any error. The issue occurs with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
