Remove the desktop shortcut.
6. Click I am finished Installing once installation is completed.
7. In the configure software phase, launch the main shortcut and enter the registration details if you already have. Once the application opens, close it. Do this for at least 2 - 3 times. Launch again and keep the shortcut open and run the following command in CMD Prompt.
reg add "HKCU\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinZip" /v AssocMsgExe /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f
Close WinZip app and open it again for the last time.
NOTE:
This step is done in order to suppress the below popup window from occurring in the client side after publishing and launching the shortcut.
8. In the Installation Report, You can notice that App-V has detected DCOM object. As all know DCOM is not supported by App-V 5.1 too. Just click on close and skip to next.
NOTE - I have done basic functionality tests alone and it seems to work fine without any issues. If anyone come across any issues because of this kindly report me back.
9. In the streaming phase, execute the shortcut if you want to capture feature blocks. If not click next to fault stream.
10. At the "Create Package" stage select "Continue to modify package without saving the package editor"
11. Check in the "Virtual Registry" tab whether the registry is captured properly.
REG_SZ AssocMsgExe with value 0 is under USER\[{AppVCurrentUserSID}]\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinZip.
If it is present, click File and save the package.
NOTE:
Adding AssocMsgExe to the Virtual Registry inside the Package Editor after the monitoring phase or configuring phase will not suppress the prompt. It needs to be done only during the monitoring phase or configuring phase.
