APP-V package refuses to run...

I created an APP-V package for an application called SigmaPlot 12.5.
During sequencing the app ran fine. It is configured to run on any OS
When I install on client machine, it will not run..no error message..app-v client starts and then quits almost immediately
As a newbie, I am at a loss as to what to look for to resolve the issue.

App-V packages won't run until they are fully download - App-V 5.0 SP2

Hey guys
we're using App-V 5.0 in our Pooled VDI environment
we waited for HF4 for a long time to be able to upgrade from SP1 to SP2
now we have a new Base Image with that client and with %APPDATA% folder redirection (unlike the Base Image with SP1 client that the %APPDATA% is local
we're facing a weird issue that I couldn't find any solution for it
When user logs on to the SP2 HF4 image, it takes FOREVER until we see App-V package shortcuts and can start using them (Some of the packages are a few GBs).
Finally when the packages fully arrive I see on the App-V Client UI that the package is ready for offline use! though we never check the
Force application(s) to be fully downloaded before launching (recommended for low/WAN networks) during the streaming phase while sequencing
when I go to the Event viewer I see thousands of these:
it's like there's an event for each file in each package
The same user with the same permission logs on to an image with SP1 client and he can start use App-V packages immidiately.
even if we load the packages manually it doesn't take so much time like it does on the logon refresh
nothing has changed in our client configuration settings between the versions
any suggestions?
thanks
Tamir Levy

Hi Agalucci
thank you for your reply. I know this is not an error. it's just there's event for every file of every unsynced package and it can take an hour until the sync completes.
* my environment is non-persistant VDI
* We do have some Applications on the master image so it includes C:\ProgramData\App-V
* This is a tricky one. I use standard folder redirection on my %APPDATA% folder, so... you tell me. I use citrix UPM for roaming. from my understanding it is useless to exclude the catalog folder from there as %APPDATA% is not managed via UPM. tried
to find what is the best practice in this case and couldn't find a documentation about running a logoff script that will delete this folder.
we don't update our master image very often so there are some applications that are synced only when the users logon (BTW, we also use Share Content Mode)
but my complain is about the fact that Office 2013 for example, it can take 20 minutes to sequence, which in fact it doesn't need to download the package as we use Shared Content Mode so I don't uderstand why it is taking so long

App-V package running OK on Virtual PC but not on Physical PC

Hi all,
I have very strange behavior of a app-v package that i am testing.
first i do the sequence on a virtual PC and then also check it on another virtual PC - the package running perfect!!
then i test it on a physical PC- the deployment working OK, also the program running OK. but some important functions that need to be on this program are not showing.
Then i do the sequence on a Physical PC- same issues.
As i wrote - this are the same package on both PCs. Virtual (Hyper V) - Working, Physical - not working.
The versions: server -5.0 SP2, Sequencer- 5.0 Hotfix 4, Client - 5.0 SP2 Hotfix 5.
Also the OS (Win 7 With SP1 64Bit) is the same on both clients. the OS is clean just the prerequisite for app-v client and the app-v itself are installed.
What can cause this issue that the package won't working on physical PC?
Thank you all for your help.

Hello,
Regarding the procmon capture;
Yes, it is a lot of data. I would just start at the top and read my way down on both captures and then identify areas which they differ. Without understanding where the two captures differ, well - it would seem hard to understand where the difference in
behaviour starts?
Of course you can minimize the data by (this seems rather obvious, but lets re-iterate);
1. Avoid all and any unnecessary background tasks
2. Monitor normal system activity and exclude that
3. Learn the application behavior and decide if you want to monitor only the application, or all system activity
4. Understand the application
As you have a working / non-working scenario - this seems like a perfect scenario of using ProcMon.

Office 2013 app-v packages

In this article, http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2013/12/02/announcing-mdop-2013-r2/   I see mention of an Office version called "Office 2013 ProPlus
App-V Package".    Is this a download? I don't see it available as one when I login to my VLSC site.
We plan to install Office 2013 pro plus VLA LOCALLY (on C:) in our vdisk for virtual machines, but will want to stream Visio,Project,Access 2013 to our users' VMs, using App-V.    (We used to use Citrix XenApp to stream them)
In the Citrix world, "streaming" is the opposite of Publishing or Hosting (running the app ON the server). Streaming means it copies over the files to the user's C: drive on their VM when they launch the appl.
Please advise.

Hi,
As far as I know, Microsoft Office 2013 App-V packages are created by using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). The created packages may have Subscription Licensing or Volume Licensing.
You need to download Office applications through the ODT first, then convert it into an Office 2013 App-V package with ODT tool.
For more details, please refer to this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us
More reference:
Supported scenarios for deploying Microsoft Office as an App-V package:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Subscription and volume licensed Office 365 C2R App-V packages on the same computer

I'm interested if anyone has come across a similar scenario to what we have at the organisation I am currently working for. The organisation has signed up for an E3 subscription to Office 365, however would like to continue to using their volume licenses
of Visio and Project 2013 (at least until new versions are released at which point they'll likely move to the same subscription model).
Using the Office Deployment Tool, I've created App-V 5.0 SP2 packages for
a. "O365ProPlusRetail"
b. "ProjectProVolume" and "VisioProVolume"
Both App-V packages ignore any exclusion rules in the configuration.xml file I've defined. This is expected and I can control which applications are published using Config Mgr 2012 R2. Both packages deploy and run as I would expect.
The issue I specifically have is that if I publish both App-V packages (using different package ID's) to the same PC with modified DeploymentConfig.xml files:
a. "O365ProPlusRetail" package only enables Word, Outlook and Excel (subscription licensing)
b. "ProjectProVolume/VisioProVolume" package only enables Visio and Project (volume licensed)
it appears as though the Word, Excel and Outlook from (b) are utilised instead of from (a) even though they are specifically disabled. This means that Word, Excel and Outlook activate to our local KMS server, rather than using the user credentials as we would
prefer.
To confirm I can see that package (a) is already running when I run the following command: Get-AppvClientPackage | select Name, InUse, InUseByCurrentUser
Name
InUse                                InUseByCurrentUser
Microsoft Office 15 ProjectProRetail_O365ProPl...
True
True
Microsoft Office 15 VisioProVolume_ProPlusVolu...
False

If I then open Word (which should only be enabled in the first package), I see that the second package is now in use

I've also confirmed that all the applications (besides Visio and Project) are disabled in the second package:

Problems with Lync integration in App-V Package for Office 365 ProPlus

We have problems with setting Lync 2013 to automatic start after Windows start with Office 365 ProPlus App-V Package made by Office Deployment Tool. We use latest version for both (ODT and download package) at Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
We have done this for Lync 2010 and also for Lync 2013 (MSI installations) and it works correctly.
User can choose to start Lync automatically, but this settings is ignored and in virtual registry is set wrong. We look for possible ways to set this by GPO (in ADMX is not this option available) by inserting in virtual registry with Package ID and user
SID in registry path.

Usually setting apps to auto start sets a registry key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, but since this registry key is inside the virtual environment, Windows does not read it at logon.
The workaround is to either set this key in the native registry (perhaps by an App-V script), or easier still, just copy the shortcut to the Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. Since you can't really modify Office 2013 packages with the sequencer, you'd
have to add this shortcut by modifying the deployment config file.

Office 2013 - App-v Package setting language to English United Kingdom

I have created an app-v package for Office 2013 using the instructions following in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745
Which works great and I have an app-v package created, trouble is that the language in Office i.e. Word is set to English United States. I need to default to English United Kingdom.
I have tried using Group Policy, and the language (Eng UK) appears in "Language" in word and if selected it uses this for session, but when Word is closed and re-opened to defaults back to English US.
I've also tried setting the language in the config.xml file to EN-GB during the build process, but the process fails straight away.
Anyone know how to permanently set the language to English UK?
Thanks

Creating Lync and OneNote App-V Packages

I need to create an App-V package for Lync 2013 and another for OneNote 2013. From
this KB article it appears that the valid product ID's I can use in ODT are all retail versions. I want to do volume licensing from my KMS server. Is it okay to use the product ID's LyncRetail and OneNoteRetail?
Am I going about this all wrong?

Hi John,
Thanks for your post.
When creating the App-V package for Volume Licensing editions, it will require the Product ID in the configuration.xml file to be like “ProPlusVolume”, “StandardVolume”, “VisioProVolume” or “ProjectProVolume”.
So I am assuming you might want to try with "LyncVolume" and "OneNoteVolume" in your configuration.xml file.

Slow Mount for App-V Packages

Hi,
I'm having an issue I first noticed with App-V 5 sequence packages deployed via ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 that are taking forever to mount.
To rule out ConfigMgr i've manually copied an app-v package (around 1GB) and ran the following powershell commands locally on a test client...
Add-AppvClientPackage -Path "path to package" | Publish-AppvClientPackage -Global | Mount-AppvClientPackage -Verbose
The mount command takes around 25-35+ minutes to complete, which is the behaviour i'm seeing when ConfigMgr deploys the package to a client.
If i was to just run the MSI from the same sequenced App-V Package on a client system this would complete a number of minutes.
Whats the difference between how and what the MSI installer does and why is the mount command taking so long?
App-V version is 5.0 SP1.
Thanks,
Doug

+1
We similarly have 30 - 45 minute mount times particularly for the larger Autodesk products (using App-V Server infrastructure) compared to 2 - 3 minutes for exactly the same package sequenced in 4.6.
I raised a ticket with Microsoft and initially figuring it must be something in the way we were sequencing in 5.0. They played with one or two of our packages and gave a few tips to tidy up the packages, told us there were general performance issues at that
stage with 5.0 but essentially there was no answer. To us, a package taking 20 minutes to load against 30-45 does not real make a huge difference. It is not acceptable coming from what we had with 4.6.
I was told that a Hotfix was due to be released immediately after SP2 that would deal with some of the "performance issues" but no sign yet.
We have been rolling out Windows 8.1 across our regional offices and have taken to sticking a member of IT in all of the App-V Groups that are required for the local office and doing the Mount on the weekend as part of the install. We can't be rolling
out Windows 8.1 and then having the guys come in on a Monday and telling them they can't use any Apps for 2 hours. I'd be laughed out of the office.

Problem with app-v packages - opens first time, then error

Hi
I've recently deployed some app-v packages via sccm.
the reason for this is that previously we had the few app-v packages we're actually using in our Citrix environment.
but.. some update has broken something.. and the packages don't work anymore..
and the people responsible for citrix aren't really that interested in fixing it since they want it out of citrix.. which is fine.
So.. I deployed some packages via sccm.
What's happening is:
I start the app-v package on a client and all is well..
I then close the app and start it again...
But now it fails..
one package is really just a pdf file.. it opens fine in the local adobe reader..
the second time I open the same package I am prompted to choose language in adobe.. and when I do the adobe window hangs for a few seconds and then the package (and adobe reader) closes..
In the sftlog I see:
(translated from Danish)
an error occurred while opening (accessing) the virtual registry database (section 9), rc: 07b01f0c-0000004a

Any ideas?
Kindest regards, Martin

The subsystem shouldn't be the issue.
It might be that AdobeReader writes back some data to the 'App-V User Delta' (.pkg file) that isn't consistent.
It might be worth having a look into a user's .pkg files (use Tim Mangan's PKGView and/or Gridmetric's Application Virtualization Explorer Classic) and perhaps delete Adobe related information using a pre-launch script.
I'd personally use the path to Adobe Reader as the FILENAME and the document path as the PARAMETER, but I'm not sure if that'd change anything.
Running AdobeReader from within an App-V environment may cause some trouble (depending on the reader version, protected mode on/off, plugins)

App-V packages not streaming on VMWare View VDI

Hello All,
We are currently running SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 on VMware View VDI's.
We maintain our golden image using SCCM OSD.
NExt to applications installed in the image, we are also using app-v packages.
Before we can deploy the image, it needs to be stripped (or sysprepped) so as to garantuee that the clones will not report to the Management Point using the same SCCM Guids etc.
There for we perform the following:
net stop "CcmExec"
Remove-Item c:\windows\smscfg.ini
Get-ChildItem -Path cert:\LocalMachine\SMS | Remove-Item
Get-wmiObject -Namespace root\ccm\invagt -class inventoryActionStatus | where {$_.inventoryactionID -eq "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}" } | remove-wmiobject
Clear-EventLog -logname Application
Clear-EventLog -logname System
Clear-EventLog -logname Security
Get-ChildItem c:\windows\ccm\logs | remove-item
When we deploy the new version of an image, we see that APP-V packages are not being streamed immediately to the clients.
While troubleshooting, I noticed that whenever I login and run a Machine Policy Evaluation & Retrieval cycle, that a ccmrepair and ccmrestart is being executed.
After the restart, the client immediately starts streaming the App-V packages.
Can anyone help me in pinpointing where the ccmrestart gets triggered from?
I've searched to already a lot of logs (ccmexec, execmgr, policyagent, policyevaluator,..) for the root cause but am unable to find it.
Many thanks in advance!
Filip Theyssens

Hi,
I just ran the action "Machine Policy Evaluation & Retrieval cycle" on my client, the Ccmrepair and Ccmrestart were not being executed from the logs.
You could trigger the CcmRestart by running "%windir%\CCM\CcmRestart.exe".

1 App-v package (5.0) won't start, howto repair (default repair won't work)

Hi,
I have this one App-v applicationon a server that won't start, I get some strange error what doesn't give any results in google. The application works fine on another server so the application itself is fine.
I tried to remove the package via powershell but it won't let me. Now I tried
Get-AppvClientPackage -All | Remove-AppVClientPackage hoping it would clear the cache (just as in 4.6), they are effectively gone but they show as installed in software center. Tried a computer policy refresh (they
are published to computer) but no change.
Please advise on this + what is the proper way to correct this problem in general (1 app-v that won't start on 1 server, whereas the App-v application is ok)?
J.
Jan Hoedt

Don't have the message anymore and cannot reproduce it. Never mind, you can close this post.
Packages are getting through after a reboot. I was only looking for an easy way to repair app-v packages, the powershell can do that but it does not refresh it directly, a reboot was necessary.
Jan Hoedt
Your best bet is to run a repair from the App-V console on the client. If you are using App-V 5.0 SP2+ then download the UI and run the repair

App-V package update best way to deploy?

Hello<o:p></o:p>
I have updated for an App-V 5 package that is currently targeted to users via
an application deployment with an WMI AD Group membership query.<o:p></o:p>
What is best way for current users to receive the updated APP-V package ? Do I simply
run update content wizard on the application deployment? Or do I need to
create a new application deployment that supersedes & uninstalls the
current application deployment?<o:p></o:p>
Thank you.
<o:p>Nick</o:p>

Basically for a version number change add in a supersede rule to supersede the previous version and delete the deployment to the previous release (not an uninstall).
If just a change to the xml then just update the content to the DP.

App v package distribution issue to sccm 2012 DP

Hi,
We are migrating app-v 4.6 packages to sccm 2012 , after importing the packages when we update DP its not copying the dependent scripts inside the appv package to Dp and hence when application launches it fails to launch the vb script.
the script is made to run when shortcut is launched, but no vb script is copied to DP , but I have all files intact in source folder iyt just copies .sprj,xml,osd.
Please suggest how to make all the files in package abcd.001 to get copied in DP.
Does App-v package distribution is different from normal package.
Thanks
Shuaib

Open up the app in the sequencer, add the file to your scripts folder. If the script requires to be run elevated, you'll want to use the Deployment config file and use Global publishing....
If you don't need elevation you can use the User Config and won't need to publish globally.
Fore more info and some examples, check this out:
