If you would like to upgrade Citrix Virtual Apps server from Citrix Virtual Apps 7 1912 LTSR version to the newer version, it might happen error messages “We cannot determine which SQL Server version is current installed” and “The SQL Server LocalDB version is lower than the minimum supported version”.
This is because the server was upgrade from XenApp to Virtual Apps, the SQL Server Express version is 2014.
As we know, the SQL Express 2014 is not longer support after Virtual Apps 7 1912 LTSR version.
