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

Question

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.
