Configuring clients to use Dragon on the Citrix
server
To prepare your client computers to use Dragon on a Citrix server, review the following tasks
and complete those that apply to your setup.
Install the Citrix Receiver software on all clients
Regardless of whether you are deploying Dragon Group with XenDesktop or XenApp, you need
to make sure the Citrix Receiver software is installed on all clients that need access to the
Citrix server. You can download this software and its documentation from the Citrix website.
Install Dragon Client Update for Citrix (XenApp deployment only)
This section only applies to you if your organization is deploying Dragon Group with XenApp. If
you are deploying Dragon Group with XenDesktop, you do not need to install the Dragon Cli-
ent Update for Citrix utility; instead, see the section about configuring audio devices that fol-
lows.
When you deploy Dragon with XenApp, you need to install the Dragon Client Update for
Citrix utility on each client machine before launching Dragon from that client for the first
time. This utility enables Dragon to receive audio from devices connected to a local client
machine.
You need administrator rights to install this utility.
If there is an older version of the Dragon Client Update for Citrix utility installed on the com-
puter, uninstall it first. You can do this from the Windows Control Panel.
You can find the installation file for Dragon Client Update for Citrix in the Citrix Extension
folder of the Dragon Group installation directory. It is available as both an executable and as
an MSI installer, under the file names vddnspatch2.exe and vddnspatch2.msi.
Launch vddnspatch2.exe or vddnspatch2.msi, and install the software for use with the default
application set in the XenApp client. Note that there are no options for vddnspatch2.msi.
Configure audio devices on the client (XenDesktop deployment only)
This section only applies to you if your organization is deploying Dragon Group with
XenDesktop. If you are deploying Dragon Group with XenApp, your audio device setup is man-
aged by the Dragon Client Update for Citrix, described in the preceding section.
