Running seamless applications in seperate memory

Citrix friends,

I am working on a solution for a client, to deploy a POS application over Citrix. The issue is that this application was initially developed to run on stand-alone systems. when launched, it checks the systems local memory for running instances of itself, and if it detects one, it does not allow for a second instance to run.
In the Citrix environment, If I publish this application not in seamless mode (i.e. a percentage of the screen size), all works well. However if I deploy the app in seamless mode, the application detects if additional copies of itself are running (even if I am running the app under a different client and userID), and does not execute. From what I can gather, it appears that some memory sharing exists when apps within Citrix are running in seamless mode (I assume for greater memory efficiency for typical apps). I would like to know if there is a registry or Citrix setting, whereby I can specify that seamless apps are executed in their own memory space.

Hope someone out there has the answer.

here's an old trick

create a .cmd or .bat with the command:

start /separate application.exe

the /separate was designed to Start 16-bit Windows programs in separate memory space.

publish the file

It just might work.......
