Description

In https://github.com/citrix/workspace-windows-vcsdk/blob/master/docs/architecture.md

"Microsoft’s DVC is implemented over the Remote Desktop Protocol and the Citrix DVC protocol is implemented over the ICA protocol. To write the DVC component over ICA, Microsoft’s DVC API can be used."

The Microsoft DVC APIs aren't actually supported. See Citrix technical support case #80408273. Microsoft's DVC APIs work in XenApp, but don't work in XenDesktop.

Research direction

Open docs/architecture.md and review the quoted paragraph about Microsoft’s DVC APIs, ICA, and XenDesktop. Use the issue’s support-case finding to correct the unsupported guidance, then verify that the paragraph no longer tells readers to rely on APIs that do not work in XenDesktop.
