 When you have completed these tasks you are ready for installation.

How to Install AutoCAD Map 3D on Citrix XenApp

To install AutoCAD Map 3D on Citrix XenApp 4.5 or 5.0, perform a network
installation directly from the installation DVD or downloaded installation
files. A network installation is nearly identical to a stand-alone installation,
with the exception that you must configure network licensing rather than use
the default stand-alone license.
For detailed information on installation of AutoCAD Map 3D, see the AutoCAD
Map 3D 2010 Stand-alone Installation Guide. For detailed information on
network administration of AutoCAD Map 3D, see the AutoCAD Map 3D 2010
Network Administrator’s Guide. For detailed information on network licensing
of AutoCAD Map 3D, see the Autodesk Network Licensing Guide.
When the installation starts, a Citrix dialog box will appear telling you to click
Next> after the installation. This After Installation dialog box is part of the
Citrix setup and configuration for new programs. Do not click the Next>
button until the installation is complete. The After Installation dialog box
will remain open for the duration of the installation process.
After the installation is complete and the installation dialog boxes close, click
the Next> button. The dialog box closes and the Finish Admin Install dialog
box appears. Click Finish to complete the installation.

Overview of Network Installation of AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 on a Citrix XenApp

server
The installation instructions that follow are intended as an overview only.
You must read the installation documentation for detailed installation
instructions.

1 First, install the Network Licensing Utilities on your network license

server: In the AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 Installation Wizard, click Install
Tools and Utilities, then install the Network License Manager and the
Network License Activation Utility.

2 From the Citrix XenApp console, run the installation setup program for
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010.

3 In the AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 Installation Wizard, click Install Products.

4 Select AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 and follow the instructions in the

Installation Wizard.

 5 On the Review - Configure - Install page, click the Configure button.

6 On the Select the License Type page, select Network License, then select
the appropriate license server model and name. For detailed information
on network licensing, see the Autodesk Network Licensing Guide.

7 When you have finished configuring your network license information,

click through to Configuration Complete, then click Install on the Review
- Configure - Install page.

8 When the installation is complete, click the Next> button in the After
Installation dialog box. The Finish Admin Install dialog box appears.

9 Click Finish.

Setting Up AutoCAD Map
3D 2010 on XenApp 2
Post-installation Configuration of AutoCAD Map
3D 2010
After you install AutoCAD Map 3D under an administrative user account, you
can only run it from that account. If you wish to run the application from a
user account that does not have administrator privileges, complete the extra
configuration steps described in this section for each user.
The issues and recommendations contained in this document are specific to
the installation of AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 only. This document does not include
any investigation of licensing issues, nor is it meant to represent or claim full
testing of the AutoCAD Map 3D application in XenApp environment.

NOTE Remapped drives are not supported.

Configuring the Registry

The per-user registry settings under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk
contains user-specific path information. For example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.0\ACAD-7002:409]

■ "LocalRootFolder"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Local

Settings\\Application Data\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD Map 3D
2009\\R18.0\\enu\\"

7
 ■ "RoamableRootFolder"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Application
Data\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD Map 3D 2009\\R18.0\\enu\\"

To configure the registry

1 Log in as the Installation user.

2 Save the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\ to a .reg

file. For example, c:\templates\admininstall.reg.

3 Copy the Install user .reg file to a new user.reg file. For example, copy
c:\templates\admininstall.reg to c:\templates\user1.reg.

4 Edit the new user.reg file and use search-and-replace to replace the
installation user name with the new user name. We recommend searching
for \<Installation User>\ and replace with \<New User>\. For example,
search for \admin\ and replace with \user1\.

5 Log-in as the new user, run regedit, and import the modified .reg file.

Repeat this procedure for each new user account for which you want to provide
the AutoCAD Map 3D application.

Configuring User Profiles

AutoCAD Map 3D requires the installation of some files in a user profile
directory to function properly. Example directories:

■ C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application

Data\Autodesk

■ C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Autodesk

When you first install AutoCAD Map 3D on XenApp, these files are only
installed for the installation user. You must copy them for each new user’s
profile.

To configure user profiles

1 Log-in as the Installation User.

2 Save the Local Settings and Application Data Autodesk folders to a folder
that is read/write accessible to new users.

3 Log-in as the New User.

8 | Chapter 2 Setting Up AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 on XenApp

 4 Copy both folders to the new user profile directories.

Using Scripts to Configure the Registry and User

Profiles
There are two Windows scripts that you can use to make it easier to apply the
post-installation registry and user profile changes.

To use scripts to configure the registry settings and user profiles

1 Extract the files in AutoCADMapOnXenApp.zip to a local directory. You

can find AutoCADMapOnXenApp.zip on your AutoCAD Map 3D 2010
installation DVD, or on the Citrix Web site:
http://community.citrix.com/display/xa/Autodesk+AutoCAD+Map+3D+2009+on+XenApp+post+installation+script.

2 Log-in as the Installation User, either through the console or remotely.

3 Ensure that AutoCAD Map 3D is running on XenApp as expected.

4 By default, the SaveAutoDeskTemplate script stores template files in

C:\Autodesktemplate. Create this directory to use the default template
settings. If you wish to store template files in another directory, such as
a shared network location, you can edit the saveAutoDeskTemplate.bat
file to point to your desired location. Make sure that the new users have
read/write access to this folder.

5 At the Command Prompt, run saveAutoDeskTemplate.bat. By default a

log file named AutoDeskForCitrix.log is created in the user profile
directory.

6 Log-in as the new (non-administrative) user, then run

applyAutodeskTemplate.bat at the Command Prompt. If your template
files are not in C:\Autodesktemplate, update the
applyAutodeskTemplate.bat file with the folder path where you stored
your template files in the previous step. The script will automatically
check if the script has been run before by checking if
%userprofile%\application data\autodesk folder exists. If not, it will read
saved data from the template directory and apply the necessary changes.
By default a log file named AutoDeskForCitrix.log is in the user profile
directory.

NOTE Repeat this procedure every time you update your software and whenever
you change the files in these directories.

Using Scripts to Configure the Registry and User Profiles | 9

 NOTE You can also run the applyAutoDeskTemplate script as part of your logon
script by adding a shortcut to the script in the Startup folder of each user.

Publishing the Application to End Users

For end users to have access to the published application, they must be able
to connect to XenApp (through the Citrix Secure Access Client, for example).
For more information about the Citrix Secure Gateway, see the Citrix Secure
Gateway for Windows® Administrator's Guide. The end user must also have client
access software installed, such as an appropriate ICA client. For more
information, refer to the Citrix Presentation Server Web Interface Administrator's
Guide or the Web Interface 5.0.1 Administrator’s Guide.
For detailed instructions on publishing AutoCAD Map 3D to end users, see
“Using the Application Publishing Wizard” in the Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
Administrator's Guide or the Citrix XenApp 5.0 Administrator's Guide for Windows
2008.
