(Default) to point to the original codec -> C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICAService\CtxVideoCodec.dll, The risk is if the end user needed to use the webcam in a double-hop (starting a Citrix session from a Citrix session), the webcam would not work because the codec for the CWA 1912 would be incompatible.
So after the upgrade of Receiver to Citrix Workspace app, update the value to this path:Ĭ:\Program Files\Citrix\ ICAService\CtxVideoCodec.dllĪfter the upgrade, update the value here: This path points to the updated codec that is incompatible with 7.15:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ ICA Client\CtxVideoCodec.dll HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\\InprocServer32\ High performance access to Windows virtual apps and desktops, anywhere access from your desktop, start menu, Receiver UI or.

This is occurring with version Citrix Receiver version 4.6/10/10.1 on a Windows 7 PC. However, since the original codec is still present on the VDA, you can change the path in the registry to point to the original codec. The recommended fix is to upgrade the VDA to 7.16 or greater to maintain compatibility.
