Another update for upgrading to 2402 LTSR from earlier versions!

The biggest change that I saw in this was the addition of the “/xenapp” switch in the Install_Server.bat and Install_Desktop.bat. For some reason, without that switch, it will not continue. According to the documentation at Install Switches, it says, “Command-line option: /xenapp to install Citrix Virtual Apps. Citrix Virtual Desktops is installed if this option is omitted.” What I found is that it wouldn’t install in either case correctly unless I added that switch. This will still do a WMI check and see if it is a server / desktop class OS and run the appropriate version of the files. This was tested against 2016, 2019, 2022, and multiple versions of Win 10.
