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

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.

Running Permission Scripts for App-V packages in VDI environment
Hi
We use App-V 5.0 SP1 in VDI environment.
We have a major problem with packages' permissions
Our users don't have administrative privileges on their machines.
As the option for "Security Descriptors" is discontinued, the only way to give permissions to a folder in a package is to use the VFSCACLS.vbs as a startup script of a package.
This way the first time users launch an application they're prompt to reopen it, and the second time they can use the application with the needed permissions.
The problem:
The script saves those permission changes under LOCALAPPDATA\AppV...
Therefore, everytime the users logoff the folder is deleted (VDI...) and again, they must run the script for the first again to get the permissions back after logon!
We cannot roam the LOCALAPPDATA\AppV folder as its size can be dozens of GBs...
Folder permissions with group policy is also not a solution, as the folder name changes everytime we upgrade a package and it's impossible to follow with hundreds of packages.
So it's either we're missing something critical in the architecture with VDI environment or there's a normal solution for these situations.
Would love to get some help
Thanks
Tamir LevyHi Nicke
that's what I did! the problem is that I find my self over and over again want to sequence packages in App-V 5.0 and forced to sequence it in App-V 4.6.
I really hope that it wasn't App-V team's goal. announcing App-V 5.0 and tell us it doesn't support many things so we will still need App-V 4.6 forever.
I have to maintain 2 different App-V environments with 4 different servers , 4 different sequencers and 2 clients on each computer. it doesn't make any sense for me to forced to stay with both of the versions forever.
correct me if I'm wrong but App-V 4.6 is a legacy application. the new versions cover only support on newer operating systems and nothing more. I won't be surprised if in the next version of MDOP won't come with App-V 4.6 anymore and Microsoft will announced
it's unsupported very soon.
Every time I open a ticket with MS Support the best thing I get is "It's a known issue, we can't tell when it will be fixed"
can you help me more ? move it forward to other people from the inside? at least agree with me that something is not as expected in App-V 5.0... :(
I love the technology, I believe in it, I'm kinda depend on it and I only want it to be better

Adding an app-v package to SCVMM 2012 R2
Hi,
I sequenced an application with App-v Sequencer 5.0 SP1. I don't have an app-v infrastructure (Server, Streaming ...). When the application is sequenced, I have the following files:
Report.xml
Application_Name.appv
Application_Name.msi
Application_Name_DeploymentConfig.xml
Application_Name_UserConfig.xml
I created a folder in my VMM Library with all these files. When a refresh of the library is done, I only have these files:
Report.xml
Application_Name_DeploymentConfig.xml
Application_Name_UserConfig.xml
If I well understand, only .OSD files are supported for App-v packages in VMM library. So I would like to know how to add my app-v package and deploy it from VMM with an application profile please.
Thank you for help.Hi Hasan,
I haven't seen this issue before, but the following post provides information on checking the registry value:
https://wmoore.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/appcontroller-2012-r2-vmm-registration-error/
The usual caveats about editing the registry apply, including make a backup first.

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.

1 App-v package for server and clients?
Hi,
Please verify if this setup is correct.
The idea is to deploy an App-v 5.0 package to servers as well as pc's.
Deploy of an app-v package with 2 deployment types:
1.for a Windows 2008 R2 without any dependency = prereq Windows 2008 R2 (no dependency to App-v 5 since it is installed in build of server)
2.for a Windows 7 X64 with dependency App-v 5.0 hotfix 5 (which has a dependency to App-v 5)
... and 2 deployments:
1.to a terminal server farm (which has App-v 5.0 RDS deployed already), mandatory
2.to Windows 7 pc's (not to users for now), also mandatory
This to avoid having two sepeare App-v applications for the same source.
Please advise or correct.
J
Jan HoedtLooks fine, I have stopped using the App-v client as a dependency, I set it as a requirement instead as it makes it easier to manage the App-v client as there are no dependecies to take care of.

Packaging Conventions for App. Developers
Looking for approaches to package organization for application developers. Everything I have read about this topic targets tool/framework developers. Grouping classes into packages seems intuitive in that case. But what about applications? Apps are not designed for reuse, so I don't have any intuition about how classes should be grouped. Whole application in one package? Separate package for each class? Does it matter? Thx.
SteveLet me try to clarify what I was getting at. Package organization is determined at two levels: whether or not class are "related", and whether they might actually need to share data. For a library or framework, the first level is usually fairly intuitive because the code is meant to be reused; invoked or subclassed by other programmers. The package is imported to provide some particular functionality. Applications, by definition are an endpoint. In a layered design in a large environment, you'd get some reuse at the business logic level, but in general nobody is reusing this code. It's meant to be run only. So, the organizing principle of "related" tasks breaks down, at least for me. From semantic point of view, I could see architectural layers being a basis for organization, but other than that, I'm out of ideas. My inclination would be to lean toward encapsulation and put every class in its own package, unless there was an explicit need to share data. Hopefully I'm getting more and not less clear. Thanks.

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.

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.

Error when starting Adobe reader 11 App-V package
How do I disable Acrobat reader for checking if the ARM Service is present?
I have created an app-v 5.0 package for Acrobat reader 11. When I run the package on the sequencer I don't have any issues. When I run it on my test machine I get a pop-up stating "There was an error during installation. An internal
error occurred."
I have already tried removing the reg keys in the package that refer to ARM, but this hasn't worked.
Is there a step I need to take before sequencing that will resolve this?

My Note 4 is slow to download apps, sometimes won't at all.
Since I bought my Note 4, it has been slow to download apps... usually it is so slow it won't finish at all. I usually show 4G and three or four bars. When at home and connected to my wireless router, there is no difference. In fact, sometimes it's slower. If I persist, sometimes hours later it will say it's downloaded and then install it. I bought my Note 4 before Lollipop, and it's been the same before and after. The preferred network mode is set to global.
All other features seem to work fine. I don't have any problems with the phone.
Any suggestions?chuckwilmot, that does seem to be a little odd! I want to make sure that we are able to speed things up today. Since you have received the Note 4 have you been able to power off the phone all the way, remove the sim card for a good 10-15 seconds. Once that is completed then place the phone back together and try to re-download some applications to see if you have faster speeds. Please keep us posted.

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
Name
InUse InUseByCurrentUser
Microsoft Office 15 ProjectProRetail_O365ProPl...
True
True
Microsoft Office 15 VisioProVolume_ProPlusVolu...

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

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?
