Project Pro 2010 and full integration

Question

Recently I needed to resequence projectpro 2010 with app-v5. I know it's not a supported methode, but we publish project to users. Office 2010 is installed native on the OS. Ofc I used
this article as a guideline. But still, project does not have full integration with sharepoint/word/excel if you do not enable the COM settings like:
<COM Mode="Integrated">
<IntegratedCOMAttributes OutOfProcessEnabled="true" InProcessEnabled="true" />
</COM>
While sequencing I also manually changed the temp manifest-file to add the publish action for integrator.exe for the user:
<appv:UserScripts>
<appv:PublishPackage>
<appv:Path>"[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\Integrator.exe"</appv:Path>
<appv:Arguments>/I /Extension /User /AppV PackageRoot="[{AppVPackageRoot}]" PackageGUID=978a32d5-9672-4477-a82d-df3faaff80ac</appv:Arguments>
<appv:Wait Timeout="0" RollbackOnError="true" />
</appv:PublishPackage>
<appv:UnpublishPackage>
<appv:Path>"[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\Integrator.exe"</appv:Path>
<appv:Arguments>/U /Extension /User /AppV PackageRoot="[{AppVPackageRoot}]" PackageGUID=978a32d5-9672-4477-a82d-df3faaff80ac</appv:Arguments>
<appv:Wait Timeout="0" RollbackOnError="true" />
</appv:UnpublishPackage>
</appv:UserScripts>
I had 1 side effect If I enabled the COM settings; and that's FM20.DLL (MS Forms 2.0 Oject Library) is pointing to the virtual package resulting in blank icons in the excel UserForms. I fixed this by again changing [{SystemX86}]\FM20.DLL to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\FM20.DLL
in the temp manifestfile.
Above actions are in mine opinion "quick and dirty", so is anyone in a similar situation with a better solution?

Unless you have Office 365, you should understand your Office licensing as well - Volume License is per-device, not per-user.
