When ever an issue happens, we tend to look into App-V logs in the eventviewer for more information.The even logs are located at Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/AppV/<App-V component> To view the entire logs, select View > Show Analytic and Debug Logs in the Event Viewer. Beginning App-V 5.0 SP3 App-V logs are further consolidated. To know more check in the below link. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn858700(v=vs.85).aspx#BKMK_event_logs_moved After enabling analytic and debug logs, you can see the view of the Eventviewer below. Traversing through these logs to find the issue is quite time taking and tedious. If you know where to look by looking into the error code it is fine. If not then it is complex. Recently Microsoft has released a KB article which explains how to collect debug trace and give output in a text file. You can use the PowerShell command to collect a debug trace on an App-V 5.0 client, sequencer, or server. Copy the below ...

You can download the source from the below link. https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=21701 Before to sequencing the Visio Viewer 2010 application, take some sample drawings created using Visio 2010 that are supported by Visio viewer (files with a .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx, or .vtx extensions) and place it in desktop or some temp location. Now start the sequencing steps using App-V sequencer 5.1. 1. Select create a new virtual package. 2. Select create package. 3. Select standard package. 4. Select custom installation and enter the virtual package name. 5. Install the Visio viewer 2010 application. After Installation, click on any one of the extension(Earlier kept in desktop) which will open up Internet Explorer and show the diagram. 6. Click I am finished Installing and continue to modify using package editor. 7. when you click on Virtual registry tab in package editor you can see the FTA extensions being captured in the registries. 8. Remove ...

Recently I have seen many queries in Technet and other groups about whether there is an App-V 5.1 client GUI available or they couldn't see the client GUI after installing App-V 5.1 client. So let me clear this confusion first. Microsoft doesn't provide a client GUI for App-V 5.1.Though it has stated in the below links that there is an UI available for App-V 5.1, it doesn't provide any link to download nor has a separate shortcut which I confirmed by opening the MSI and had a look for any client UI shortcut. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt346490%28v=vs.85%29.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt346576%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (Have posted in Technet about this false informations. check HERE .Hope MS will look into it.)  We already know that it stopped providing GUI from App-V 5.0 SP2. Beginning App-V 5.0 SP2, Microsoft started providing a separate client GUI which can be downloaded from the below link. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.a...

Question: I have an App-V 5.1 sequenced application and I have a requirement. When entering the application name in Run command it should open up the App-V virtual application. For example, when we enter iexplore in Run, it opens up internet explorer. Solution: You can use the AppPath subsystem in App-v 5.0 and higher. This subsystem exposes the App Path registration of a virtual application to the native operating system. Using this registration, the operating system can find the application’s executable. This feature is usually used by an application to avoid modifying the system PATH environment variable. Reference - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/appv/2013/01/03/microsoft-application-virtualization-5-0-integration/ So how can we implement this in the virtual package? If package has been already sequenced, then you can edit the Dynamic configuration file and add the AppPath subsystem. <AppPaths Enabled="true">         <Extension...

There are some possible ways to make sequenced add-on work with the locally installed office product. I have listed them below. You can use whichever method suits your need. 1.Create shortcut to local excel: Install the Microsoft office product locally in the machine prior to sequencing. Open the sequencer and select Add-on or plugin option. select I have installed the primary package and click next.  Enter the virtual package name Install the Adobe Analytics Add-in . Create a shortcut for excel during monitoring phase and launch it to verify the Adobe Analytics addin. End the sequence and save the package. In the client side make sure that Office product is installed locally prior to publishing of Adobe Analytics virtual package. 2. Using /appvve: Alternatively, if you do not want to create a separate shortcut while sequencing you can make use of /appvve: Eg: Excel.exe /appvve:ProductID_versionID Alternatively, if it shows error try like below. cmd.exe /...

Question: I need to remove the service that is in virtual services tab in the package editor, but I am not able to see an option to do it. How to achieve this? Workaround: If you have failed to remove the services that are not necessary like services that perform auto update during sequencing, then it is not possible to remove it in the package editor. From the sequencer guide Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0 Sequencing Guide   : The Services tab displays the current configuration of virtualized application services and allows for changing the Startup Type, Log On and Dependencies configuration of virtualized services. Note: The services tab is read-only.  In order to disable a virtual service, set the service?s properties during monitoring using Services.MSC or by utilizing a dynamic configuration file post-sequencing, as described later in this document. With the release of App-V 5.1, we expected Microsoft will be providing the option to disable/delete the ser...
