Install Citrix Receiver 4.7 with the command line
CitrixReceiver.exe [Options]
By default, Citrix Receiver for Windows does not install the bidirectional content redirection components if they’re already installed on the server. If you are using XenDesktop as a client machine, you must install Citrix Receiver for Windows by using the /FORCE_LAA switch to install the bidirectional content redirection components. The feature, however, must be configured both on the server and the client.
