There are many reasons this may occur but I have noticed it always occurs with the latest version of the licensing server 11.10 whether you have specified the correct Product Type or not. The work around for me was to choose “Select the model at a later time”

This will let you complete the wizard. You can then use Citrix policies to set the license server location, port and model type at which point everything works.

The interesting item here is the one that suggests that the ICA MIME type may need to be added to IIS.

Thomas Koetzing has the fix on his blog

Create a VM with a Windows 7 template and copy the virtual machine UUID from the general tab in XenCenter or use xe vm-list in the CLI. Next you need to run the command xe vm-param-set uuid=<VMUUID> platform:viridian=false

The installation can the proceed as normal.
