App-v5 Packages through SCCM2012

Hello, I have a question about deploying applications through SCCM 2012.
Applications deployed through SCCM, their shortcuts have the following path:
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\A959139A-75BD-4A77-AC79-C1B5407F9B06\Root\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Dreamweaver.exe"
This path resolves to C:\programdata\appv.
When deployed via App-v Management server they get this path:
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\A959139A-75BD-4A77-AC79-C1B5407F9B06\Root\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Dreamweaver.exe"
I understand C:\programdata\appv is the master repository for the packages so why is SCCM pointing to the master copy? On the SCCM client I don't see any App-v folders in the users profile so where are their settings stored?

The difference might be caused by the 'targeting' of packages. Both, ConfigMgr and App-V Management Server allow to target packages to users/user groups and/or to computers/computer groups.
When you target a computer, publishing ('shortcut creation') is done to the 'all users' profile

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:

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
programs.

Updating app-v packages on clients already deployed to.

hi
I'm deploying a few app-v packages..
If I make some changes to the osd file for instance..
how do I get this update through to the clients that already have the app-v package deployed?
Kindest regards, Martin

You need to supersede the application. So create a new application and then set supersede rules in the properties of the new application. Browse to the app to replace and then in the New Deployment Type drop down select the new application.
Once that is done remove the deployment of the old application as this is no longer required.

Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
Any ideas?

I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

Sharepoint opendocument class add-on removed within the app-v package

Hi all,
On my environment the computers have the office installed locally (Office professional plus), I'm sequencing a package with Office Pro Plus + Visio + Project. The objetive of this is to let the users use visio and project for a certain amount of
time.
When I remove the package from the client the IE opendocument class add-on is removed, then they aren't able to edit office documents in sharepoint. The solution to this issue was to repair office. But this won't work on our production environment.
Do any of you have faced a problem like this or do you now any way to prevent that the add on will be removed ?
My environment is:
App-V 5 SP1 (Server and client)
The package contains: Office 2010 Professional Plu, Visio Standard, Project Standard, the office deployment kit.
The packages are administered with the app-v management console.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Office installed locally and delivered as an App-V package isn't supported, I'd suggest that if Office Pro Plus is installed, then also install Visio and Project.
Note that Office applications licensed through Volume License, are device-based licensing. I would be very careful about providing Office suites/applications to users for a certain amount of time, as that does not adhere to the license agreement. Be careful
in case your company is audited.
If you need to provide users with access to Visio and/or Project, then you need to license the users's physical device.

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

Question about distributing an app for free through the AppStore and taking payment for the online software separately

We intend to sell a package of online software to Golf clubs. Part of the bundle is 25 iPhones that their members use whilst attending the club. There is an app which is controlled and administered by the online software, each of the 25 apps need to have this app installed, and the AppStore is the best way for them to download it and be pushed updates.
Would we be breaching Apple’s terms and conditions in any way by offering this app for free through the AppStore and taking payment for the online software separately (the iPhone app is completely unusable without the online software).
Please could you advise?

Probably a question best addressed either in the developers' forum or by contacting Apple directly.

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
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
Name
InUse                                InUseByCurrentUser
Microsoft Office 15 ProjectProRetail_O365ProPl...
True

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

Perhaps what I am trying to do is unsupported but I can't find anything explicity calling this out - and surely other organisations will have a similar scenario to us. Is there any best practice recommendations from Microsoft in this regard?

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)
