So to help others, I have listed the possible solutions which I have gathered from my experience and from other blog posts in a single article below. ISSUE: 1. Sequence Microsoft Office 2016 addin's using App-V 5.1 Sequencer 2. Publish the sequenced addin's package in the client side which has App-V 5.1 client and Microsoft Office 2016 c2r locally installed 3. Launch the Microsoft Office 2016 c2r Word/Excel using /appvve: or RunVirtual registry key to load them into the published addin's virtual environment to test the addin's. 4. we see that the addin is not loaded.
