Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to do.

Turns out I was calling my InstallCitrix method from the constructor. I moved the code into the Load event, then did:

// Display this form
this.Show();
this.Update();

// Launch the installer
this.LaunchCitrixInstaller();

And all works fine. The client is happy and I learned something new.
