XenDesktop problem with Windows 7 N / KN version
By Trond Eirik Haavarstein 06/04/2010 – 15:09
I recently downloaded Windows 7 Enterprise N from MSDN because it was on the top of the list and N means Norwegian, right! No, the Windows 7 N version is another EU thing, which means Windows 7 without Media Center / Player. If you are going to install XenDesktop on a Windows 7 N version I highly recommend installing Media Feature Pack before the XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA).
I installed XenDesktop VDA on the machine and after reboot the files ctxidhlp.exe and picatzrestore.exe complain about missing MF.dll every 5 second. Error message “C:\Windows\System32\MF.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error”. After installing Media Feature Pack all the popup messages went away. Thank you very much EU !!

Had the same thing. I still have some issues were IE crashes. Wonder if it is related to the media pack and/or N-version. Will build a new image ASAP.
