Question: We have an environment where user has separate login account and for testing purpose there is an administrator account to which we as an administrator login to the published applications for troubleshooting. With App-V 5.0, we are unable to launch by shift+Right clicking on the shortcut and selecting "RunAs" option to troubleshoot. This worked exactly as desired in App-V 4.6 The Applications are published through SCCM 2012 for the users. We are not seeing any error when launching the App-V 5.0 shortcuts using "RunAs". When normally double clicking on the shortcut, it launches fine. What might be the reason? Reason: The reason is, the App-V 5.0/5.1 application has been published for the user through SCCM 2012. When published for a particular user collection, the application will work only for that users. It won't work for other users. This is the reason why "Run as different user" failed to launch the application. Solution: If you want your...

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.
