    • XenServer 6.5 (BUILD_NUMBER='90233c'), XenCentre 6.5.1.1922 64-bit, Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) Guest VM, XenTools build 1400

    Description

      Objective:
      Install XenTools for a fresh Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) Guest OS using local Administrator account

      Expected Outcome:
      XenTools installer defaults the install path to C:\Program Files\Citrix\XenTools\ (based on the OS' architecture and to follow the Guest VM's filesystem layout)

      Actual Outcome:
      Default path is shown as C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\XenTools\

      Reason for Filing:

      • During Creedence Alpha/Beta, this path was detected for Windows 2K8, 2K3, as well as 2012 at some point
      • Due to the nature of Tools' rolling upgrade/installer, I never alter the default install path during an initial setup of tools

      Additional Information:
      From the environment, the architecture is visible in Visual Studio referencing $(PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE) – much like 'set' from the command line to get:

      PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64
      PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5, GenuineIntel
      PROCESSOR_LEVEL=6

      Did anything change in the install logic to detect the Guest VM architecture and default install path?

      Thanks!!
