Hello @Eric Wilson,
Do we need to install full version of Blue Prism 7.0 inside the citrix VDE​?
Is there any alternative ?

If you are unable to install the Citrix Workspace application within the Citrix VDE (i.e. if you are a BPO and do not own/host the customers Citrix environment you are using and cannot convince the Citrix IT owner to install it) then your only other alternative is to use Surface Automation.  Surface Automation when done correctly (the BP University training must be done and followed) is robust and stable but will be slower to develop and may run slower at runtime.

Hi @pramodkathmore021121,

As suggested by @Denis__Dennehy, sometimes the IT folks don't agree to install Citrix workspace application within Citrix VDE, hence the last resort is using Surface automation only. But if you can provide proper documentation and justification, the IT folks agree for the installation as well.​​
