"You already have this version of Citrix Workspace installed, so the installer will exit" when trying to install the Citrix client, caused by a different user previously having installed the client

Troubleshooting


Problem

Controller on Cloud is powered by Citrix. Therefore all users require the Citrix client installed on their device (for example laptop).
User wants to install the Citrix Workspace client on their laptop/PC. They download the relevant file ("CitrixWorkspaceApp.exe") from the Citrix website. They double-click on the file. An error appears suggesting that it is already installed.
  • However, when they look at their PC (for example in Control Panel) they cannot see any evidence of it being installed.
