One of the support cases that we have had, since the release of Application Virtualization Explorer version 3.0 that started supporting App-V 5.0 packages, is how to run AVE itself inside 5.0 package. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it: just add the files into .APPV file and go, right? Well, not so in this case…

We have had the 32-bit fixup tool available for a while (to correct issues in App-V 4.6 packages saved out from AVE prior to version 2.2.6), but since the recent events there appeared to be a need to do the opposite as well.

I recently got the inquiry about the way AVE displays certain App-V variable, %SFT_ALLUSERS_DIR%. Since there’s more than meets the eye behind this variable, I thought to write up about it..

In a recent post over at the Microsoft’s Technet App-V forums, original poster had the issue during Star Office 8 sequencing wherein middle of the process Windows would just pop up a error message that INF file could not be installed correctly. Let’s find out how to track the source for such an error.
