Hi Again!
Before i explain my solution, Citrix has posted a solution that is more complex than what i offer here,
the CTX articles are:
http://support. Citrix.com/article/CTX114691
refer to Shawn bass’ great explanation of this issue:
which led Citrix to create a special MST (MSI Transform file)
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX113639/
This also happened in our environment, the installation stalled and hung, i ran it using msiexec logging and thanks to Shawn’s excellent i had an idea, which eventually made it all much more simpler
I thought “Well, if the problem is the timeout when resolving the SID of “networkservice” account maybe i can time it out…”
I connected to the using serial port (HP ILO) and.. wait for it..
Disconnected the network cable while it was hung,
I guess that timed out the SID resolve for “networkservice” account and the installation continued successfully,
I have a full verbose log of the successful installation, but i guess you’re more interested in the part that stuck and then continued,
key_component=C:\Program Files\Citrix\System32\CitrixLogServer.dll component_tlb=C:\Program Files\Citrix\System32\CitrixLogServer.tlb component_psdll= component_install_state=3 component_action_state=3key_role=__all role_install_state=3 role_action_state=3 key_user=networkserviceuser_domain=nt authoritykey_property=Identityproperty_value=nt authority\networkserviceproperty_type_value=6
***this where it hangs, you can’t see it but it was 20 minutes of thinking, surfing & reading about this problem before the next line ;-) **

Looking forward to hear if there’s anything i could have and hearing your experiences with this solution,
Oh and before i forget Thanks Shawn!
