Internet Explorer getting crashed after upgrading App-V 5.0 SP2 or SP3 to App-V 5.1

After upgrading from App-V 5.0 Sp2 or App-V SP3 to App-V 5.1 , Internet explorer starts crashing for no reason.

The Application event log shows two possible errors:

1.Faulting module : EMET.DLL
2.Faulting module : NTDLL.DLL

This is a known bug with App-V 5.1. Some possible workaround is to either revert back to 5.0 or follow the below steps.

Solution:

Remove the following lines in the registry and IE 10 / IE 11 will stop crashing.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / AppV / Client /Virtualization

ProcessesUSingVirtualComponents

Data:

%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe


You can also try removing the App-V 5.0 earlier versions manually and then install App-V 5.1 instead of upgrading to avoid this issue.

Though the above said step is just a workaround, it is not a recommended way to bypass this issue. We need to wait for Microsoft to come up with possible fix or service pack soon.

Solution for Error 17002 when uninstalling Office 365 (2016) when apps like word, excel, outlook are open

Image
When uninstalling office 365 silently, it is failing only when any applications like word, excel are kept open. This is because during uninstall, office checks for any running applications and prompts the user to close it which is not happening in silent uninstall. When uninstalling in UI mode, it prompts to close when any office apps are open. Since in silent mode office is not able to do this, it fails with an error code 17002. You can check in the log file for the error code 17002. To overcome this just add the property FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN with Value="True" in the uninstall config.xml file. This property will force shutdown any running office apps. Example: <Configuration>  <Remove>  <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" >  <Language ID="en-us" />   </Product>  </Remove> <Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE" /> <Display Level="None"/> <Logging Path="c:\temp\" Name...
