Problems deploying Citrix Receiver 3.3 through Desktop Central.
I am hoping someone out there has had similar issues to what I am going through, but has solved the problem with deploying Citrix Receiver 3.3 to their clients through Desktop Central.

The installer seems fairly simplistic, although it has a few custom switches.
Information on command line install is here:

and more specifically to my needs: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135438
The only switches I need to make use of specifically are /silent and /ALLOWADDSTORE=N
installing the program locally on my system with those switches (as shown in the following example) works locally on my system - it installs silently, and only installs the web component meaning that it does not ask for the server address or the users email address.

CitrixReceiver.exe /silent /ALLOWADDSTORE=N
When deployed via DesktopCentral - it installs silently, but the switch /ALLOWADDSTORE=N does not appear to get passed along and the popup box asking for server address comes up - we can't have this.
I created a batch file to perform the installation - thinking if I have all the commands listed in the batch, it will pass through and run like it does locally on my test system.
For testing purposes I have echo turned on.
I can't seem to get this to deploy through Desktop Central properly with the appropriate switch enabled, yet it works absolutely fine when done locally.
Suggestions?
We have to many off site users that deploying via GPO isn't ideal, that is why using Desktop Central for this becomes rather imperative for us.

- echo on
start /wait CitrixReceiver.exe /silent /ALLOWADDSTORE=N
EXIT
