Please Help - How to start local PC's excel from TS

[Jason Wang]

I like to trigger local PC's excel from TS application.
Any suggestions???

I am very familiar with WTSAPI32.h (Windows Terminal
Server publice APIs). I told to couple Citrix tech guys.
According to them, it is a security risk to the client PC
so this function is not implemented.

Any help will be appreciated.

There are security concerns if the server can execute applications on
the client. I would advise you to consider what you open yourself up
to before you attempt this.

However, using the WTS virtual channel APIs on the server and the
IMsTscAx virtual channel interface methods on the client, you could
construct your own virtual channel add-ons which allowed the server to
command the client to launch an application.
