- If you install a role component from the Autorun menu by selecting Manually Install Components and then install the XenApp server role from Autorun, you may be prompted during XenApp role configuration for the location of that component’s server, even though you did not select that component during XenApp server role installation. Re-enter the server information you specified during the manual installation. This also applies during a command-line XenApp role configuration; you must specify the server information for all the installed components. [#229147]
- The Provisioning Services Target Device software resets your network connection during install. As a result, you may see user interface crashes or other failures if you select this component to install from a network location. Citrix recommends that you install the Provisioning Services Target Device software using one of the following methods [#229881]:
- Install from a local DVD image or ISO
- Copy the installation media locally before performing the installation
- Select Manually Install Components from the Autorun menu
- Install with a command-line installation
- You must install the Provisioning Services role and the Provisioning Services Target Device component on separate servers. If you select both on the same server, the installation fails. [#229999]
- If you install the XenApp server role and then uninstall it, Citrix recommends that you re-image the server with a clean operating system before installing the XenApp server role again. Re-installation of the XenApp server role on a machine where it was previously uninstalled may fail in the following conditions [#228363, 224925]:
- If you previously created a farm on this machine
- If you had IIS installed on the machine previously and/or chose to install XML Service
Integration with IIS - If you specify an unsupported Microsoft SQL Server database version during XenApp server role configuration, the configuration fails but the error message may not state the cause. For supported database versions, see the system requirements topic and http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX114501. [#225264]
- To install the EdgeSight for XenApp Agent, either install it at the same time you install the XenApp server role (and then restart the server after you configure XenApp), or, if you have already installed the XenApp server role, install the agent from the installation media using the MSI file in Service MonitoringInstallersAgent. Then restart the XenApp server. If you installed the XenApp server role and later installed the EdgeSight for XenApp Agent using the Server Role Manager, you are not prompted for the agent configuration, and the agent does not report to your EdgeSight server. To provide the proper configuration in this case, uninstall the agent and reinstall it from the installation media. [#229617, 229778]
- If the network connection fails or disconnects during a wizard-based XenApp nstallation, you may see the error message "Citrix eXtensible Meta Installer has stopped working." This is typically a non-fatal error; restart the XenApp Server Role Manager and finish your installation or configuration. You can also avoid this issue by copying the installation media locally or installing from the DVD. [#227578]
- After installing the Delivery Services Console, if you use the Autorun menu to install Applications on Virtual Machines and select Install optional components > Upgrade Management Consoles, a separate console is installed, rather than adding a "VM Hosted Apps" node to the Delivery Services Console. [#226895]
- When installing the XenApp server role, if the required IIS role services are deployed on the server and you choose not to enable IIS integration by deselecting the XML Service IIS Integration component in a wizard-based installation, or by omitting the XA_IISIntegration option in a command-line installation, you must change the XML service port (to a port other than 80) when configuring the XenApp role. [#230674]
- When you select both the XenApp and Web Interface roles to install, and the IIS role services are not deployed on the server, the Web Interface role automatically deploys the IIS server roles. However, the XML Service IIS Integration component checkbox is not selected by default. Either select this checkbox or specify an XML Service port other then 80 when you configure XenApp. [#230683]
- Launching the Server Configuration Tool by double-clicking XenAppConfiguration.exe is not supported. Launch the Server Configuration Tool through the Server Role Manager. [#230819]
- When using the Server Role Manager to install and configure the SmartAuditor server role from a network share that requires authentication, after restarting the server, log on to the network share [#231084]

Great info for post XenApp installation changes (the EdgeSight sections saved the day).
I am glad it helped you.
