I have handled a case about Citrix xendesktop VDA upgrade failure today. I would like to share with you here.

Specific error message:

Rror ID: xdmi: 1414b9d7

Exception:

Check the installation log of VDA and find similar error messages:

[Problem Analysis]

From the above log, it is easy to see that an error occurs when the component "upsclient_x64.msi" is installed. 1603 is an error code that is very common for Microsoft MSI installation. You cannot see the specific problem from the above log, check the Windows Eventlog and find the print spooler error event ID: 11920. Open the service and check the status of the service. Then, check the service when installing vda, this is also the cause of VDA installation failure.

[Solution]

Enable and enable this service. Uninstall and restart VDA and reinstall vda. The installation is successful!
