When you completed Part 2, you were at the Windows CTRL + ALT + DELETE prompt.

You need to configure your Virtual Machine (VM) to allow access to the license and XenApp 5 files downloaded from your MyCitrix web site.
Right-click the VMware Workstation tab for your Learning XenApp 5 for Server 2008 VM and click Settings…

Click the Options tab.

Click Shared Folders

Click Always enabled

Check Map as a network drive in Windows guests

Click the Add button.

Click Next on the Add Shared Folder Wizard.

Click the Browse button.

Browse to the folder that contains the files downloaded from your MyCitrix web site, select that folder and then click OK.

Click Next on the Add Shared Folder Wizard.

Verify that Enable this share is checked and that Read-only is not checked and then click Finish.

Click OK on the Virtual Machine Settings.

Press CTR-ALT-Insert to logon to the VM with your user account and password.  Close the Initial Configuration Tasks console and the Server Manager console.  You need to install the two Microsoft Hotfixes first.
Click Start -> Computer.

You will now see your shared folder mapped as Drive Z.
Note: What is .host?  .host is how VMware Workstation refers to the host computer running VMware Workstation.

Double-click the Z: drive and navigate to where you placed the two Microsoft Hotfix files.  Double-click the first Zip file, click Run, click Continue, extract the Zip file to C:\HF1 and enter the password Microsoft sent you.  Repeat for the second Zip file but extract it to C:\HF2.
You also need to copy your Citrix license file to the C: drive because of an issue with the Citrix License Management Console (LMC).  The LMC is unable to access the Z: drive so the license file needs to be placed on the VM’s local C drive.  Navigate to where you placed your Citrix license file and copy the file to the root of the C drive.

Double-click the HF1 folder, double-click the Hotfix file, click Continue on the User Account Control dialog and install the hotfix.  If the Hotfix requires a Restart, restart the VM, logon to Windows and return back to the C drive in Start -> Computer.  Double-click the HF2 folder, double-click the Hotfix file, click Continue on the User Account Control dialog and install the hotfix.  If the Hotfix requires a Restart, restart the VM, logon to Windows and return back to the Z drive in Start -> Computer.
Navigate to where you placed the XA50_WS2008_EN.Zip file you downloaded from your MyCitrix site in Part 1.

Double-click the Zip file and click Extract all files.

Save the files to C:\XA5.  Leave the box, Show extracted files when complete, checked.  You will manually install the .NET 3.5 Framework next.

When the file is extracted, double-click the Support folder.

Double-click the DotNet35 folder.

Right-click the file dotnetfx35 and select Run as administrator.

Click Continue on the User Account Control dialog.  Click I have read and ACCEPT the terms of the License Agreement and then click Install.

When the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Setup completes, click Exit and restart your VM.  Logon to Windows and close the Initial Configuration Tasks console.  On the Server Manager console, scroll down to the Security Information section.  Click Configure IE ESC.

Click Off in both the Administrators and Users sections and then click OK.  The Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration needs to be disabled to prevent the annoyance of its popups when downloading updates from Microsoft and Citrix and when testing the Web Interface on this VM.

Exit the Server Manager console and start Internet Explorer.

Go to http://www.java.com/

Install Java Runtime 11, restart your VM and login to Windows with your username and password.
