Ok so it’s not used for the majority of customers running XenApp or XenDesktop, only by certain XenApp Cloud Service Providers… Why is it (already) added to a public release of Receiver and a public release of a XenApp hotfix with so less information provided?
This BHO does not currently provide any additional functionality for the majority of customers running XenApp or XenDesktop and is actively used only by certain XenApp Cloud Service Provider customers.” “In recent releases of Citrix Receiver for Windows, Citrix has implemented a new Browser Helper Object (BHO) – CtxIEInterceptorBHO (IEInterceptor.dll).

I think this is really bad… If you were lucky you spot this popup when going through a test procedure, but if Internet Explorer was not on your test list you will get a lot of calls to the support desk from frustrated users. When one of the above is installed, you will likely see popups when opening Internet Explorer to allow this BHO and its components to load outside of Internet Explorer protected mode. – CtxIEInterceptorBHO Class installed through Citrix Receiver 3.2 – CtxVDAIEInterceptorBHO Class installed through Hotfix 025 for XenApp 6.5

It frustrates me when there is new functionality added that is not listed in the release notes, and to make it worse when a production environment is suffering because of this. This helps in calculating what kind of impact the fix\update will have when installing it in a environment.
