Citrix VDA Standalone Installer

Citrix have the VDA component of their product contained on the XenDesktop 7 ISO.

However if you want to remove the VDA from the ISO and make a portable version that can be used by deployment teams its not as easy as just copying a MSI or files in the \VDA folder.

This is un-tested but i believe the following are the required folders to remove the VDA agent from the main installation ISO
