| The ICA Win32 Web Client is used if you want users to launch published resources from within their familiar Web browser. This ICA Client requires the use of Web Interface 2.1 or ALE (Application Launching and Embedding) The Web Client is available as a self-extracting executable. At approximately 1.8MB in size, this package is significantly smaller than the other ICA Win32 Clients. The smaller size allows quicker downloads and installation. You can configure the ICA Win32 Web Client for silent user installation. The ICA Win32 Web Client (ica32t.exe) can also be automatically deployed. Keeping with the goal of limited client touch, I recommend using the ICA32 Web Client and Web Interface 2.1 to automatically deploy it. One method of deploying ICA Clients on your users devices is to use the Web-based ICA Client installation, which is a default component of Web Interface 2.1. This feature uses HTML documents and ICA Client installation files, stored on a Web server, to determine the type of client device and Web browser, and display the user with a link to the appropriate ICA Client installation file. When users click on a link, the ICA Client is installed on their client device. The following shows the default installation option: 
In order to take advantage of Web-based ICA Client installation you will need to verify that the ICA clients are installed to the Web Interface web server. (/webroot/Citrix/ICAWEB/language/platform, i.e., C:\inetpub\wwwroot\citrix\icaweb\en\i386\). If during the installation of Web Interface use did not choose to install the ICA Client to the ICAWEB directory then you will need to copy them now. 1. Create a directory called \Citrix\ICAWEB off the root of your Web server. 2. Insert the MetaFrame XP with Feature Release 3 Components CD in your Web servers CD-ROM. 3. Change directories to the CDs ICAWEB directory and copy the contents of the ICAWEB directory on the CD into the /Citrix/ICAWEB directory on the web server. Make sure you copy the contents of the directory and not the ICAWEB directory itself.
