Successful sequencing (or an interview with the guy who solved the pdapp.exe crash)
[repost]
To continue to highlight successful sequencing and the efforts and mindset that goes into it – here comes the a second interview. Fellow Microsoft MVP, who I actually have met in person, Tsuneyuki Mitsugi from Japan who posted a very specific fix for resolving a PDApp.exe crash – quite common when sequencing several Adobe applications. Tsuneyuki unfortunately doesn’t speak English and therefore this interview is only possible by using the powers of interpretation and Google Translate. Even though there is a barrier of lacking a common language, lets hope that everyone can enjoy the below answers and understand the importance of sharing knowledge.
(another fix by Tsuneyuki for Quicktime)
Hi Nicke Källén san
It answers your question.
Please E-mail when you do not understand the translation. English
>How long experience do you have of App-v (or softgrid?) and what type of environments have you been working with (TS, desktop)?
From 2005, since it was Softricity Softgrid – working with a lot of desktops.
Original;
It is from 2005. It does from Softricity SoftGrid. There are a lot of Desktop.
>What communities are you active in? Any public blog / forums that you might show up in?
It acts in a Japanese Microsoft forum of App-V

Visual Studio 2010
Firefox
Google Chrome
IE9
>Since you posted a recipe for Photoshop Elements – lets ask how that came about
>How long did it take?
3 takes
First time is fail
Information on the forum was found by the Google
Second time is succuess
It moved when executing it based on the information.
But PDapp.exe crash issue happen
Third time is success perfectory
It moved without trouble when the DLL version of the module of the third error was updated and it corresponded.
It fed back to the forum.
>What problems did you experience and how did you find the solutions to them?
Because PDapp.exe had crashed by the application error, the event viewer was confirmed.
Side by Side (SxS) error had occurred.
The “Resource Hacker” confirmed PDapp.exe.
http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/
Embedded Application Manifest file is setting fixed version Microsoft.VC90.CRT Runtime requirements
It is difference version dll.
Next I check it from c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\Microsoft.VC90.CRT files version
Next step
I check it from Q:\<PACKAGE_ROOT_DIR>\VFS\CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\Microsoft.VC90.CRT
This problem is that perhaps, DLL of the version difference is in the Microsoft.VC90.CRT folder.
>Any special tools in use while troubleshooting?
Sysinternal Tools
SoftGrid Sequencer version 4.1.0.56
version 4.1.0.56 sequencer is not generation *.config files , Microsoft.VC90.CRT folder
Because it sequencer version not support SxS
>How many applications have you sequenced?
over 200 apps
>Was the solutions above mostly based on experience or from the general documentation of MS / elsewhere?
I read MS documentation English ,Japanese

Aaron Parker’s Blog!! very nice
>What improvements do you wish to see in app-v?
Not generation *.config files , Microsoft.VC90.CRT folder!
like a version 4.1.0.56 sequencer
it is not generation *.config files , Microsoft.VC90.CRT folder
Because it sequencer version not support SxS

SAP GUI and App-V
A couple of notes on howto sequence SAP GUI successfully within Application Virtualization 4.6. This requires that you know howto install SAP GUI. This recipe will not contain the steps to install SAP GUI. It will only contain App-V specific parts. This recipe is based on SAP GUI 7.2
This is not for anyone who does not know howto install and configure SAP GUI and all its prerequisites.
I am not kidding on that part – if you have questions on the below steps, don’t try this.
Pre sequencing
Ensure you have a clean sequencing machine with no Microsoft Office components installed.
Run the following command;
REG ADD HKCR\CLSID\{00020820-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocHandler32 /f
REG ADD HKCR\CLSID\{00020820-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer32 /f
This is prep work to resolve exports to Excel and the Excel-in-place feature – especially when you get the blank spreadsheet.
During sequencing
Install SAP GUI to the Q: – drive
Create new folder: Q:\<suite name>\SAP\Common
Move (not copy) the following files from C:\Windows\system32 to Q:\<suite name>\SAP\Common: librfc32.dll, SAPbtmp.dll, icuin34.dll, and libsapu16vc90.dll
From Control Panel, add Q:\<suite name>\SAP\Common to the PATH environment variable.
The above action resolves any error messages relating to launching SAPLOGON.exe
Run the following commands;
REG DELETE HKCR\CLSID\{00020820-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocHandler32 /f
REG DELETE HKCR\CLSID\{00020820-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer32 /f
This actually resolves the issues when using Excel-in-place feature and getting a blank spreadsheet.
Post sequencing
Remove the following keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
The above action resolves the conflict that occurs when installing SAPs packaged VC++ redists (which are installed silently in the background) ontop of all other VC++ redists and causing errors when using a native Office.
Error message is; “Microsoft Excel has not been installed by the current user. Please run setup to install the application”
Ensure LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED is set to true
The above ensures interaction with locally installed applications and sequenced prerequisites
Disable updates for Skype
If you are sequencing or deploying Skype (now provided by Microsoft) within your enterprise (using the business edition), it might be worth knowing howto disable updates.
Set this registry key;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype\Phone] "DisableVersionCheck"=dword:00000001
App-V 5 Beta 2 Deployment
Well.. SCCM 2012 makes a lot of things easier… For example – getting all the Visual C++ Redistributables in place.
The above is a picture of all the things that are layed down when deploying the App-V 5 Beta 2 client. Most of the list can be found in the older article on howto setup a packaging machine, some are new (such as the Windows Management Framework 3.0 or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2533623) and others are skipped (J# 1.1..).
Exchange, Autodiscover and Exchange Proxy Settings
Ever wondered howto check the “On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP” from an Exchange 2010 environment and its Autodiscover functionality? Per default when configuring a profile – it is not checked. This is best practice from Microsoft if your users are connecting internally once in a while. Unfortunately there isn’t any logical name for this anywhere, but if you review the documentation for Powershell commands within Exchange 2010 – it all becomes clear. Set-outlookprovider (which is primarily used to configure the Certificate Principal Name) is the command to use and there is even an example which states the following;
This example causes Outlook 2010 clients to connect exclusively through RPC over HTTP (Outlook Anywhere) before trying RPC over TCP connections when connecting over the Internet
Reading the clarification for the OutlookProviderFlags makes it even more clear;
The OutlookProviderFlags parameter specifies that Outlook 2010 clients should connect using RPC over HTTP (Outlook Anywhere) before trying RPC over TCP connections. This increases the speed at which Outlook 2010 clients will connect when clients are primarily accessing Exchange over the Internet. The value can be set to
ServerExclusiveConnector toNoneto clear the flags. For Outlook 2010 clients that access Exchange over both organization intranets and the Internet, the recommended value isNone, which is also the default setting.
So – to set the “ On fast networks, connect using HTTP first then Connect using TCP/IP “ you simply run the following powershell command;
Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -OutlookProviderFlags:ServerExclusiveConnect
After you run this command you might require to restart World Wide Web Publishing Service – as per a more extensive blog-article.
Its unchecked in the below screen shot;
Extract MSI from Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable
When you download the new bits for the Visual C++ 2012 redistributable – it comes with an .EXE. This .EXE file is very nice for the common end-user, but working as an Configuration Administrator you are taught the hard-life of using MSIs. By providing the SCCM GUI with an MSI you are provided with so much improvement in the deployment process that doing it manually just seems like a lot of hardwork. For example, you get autodetection if the component is placed on the machine already!
For the older versions of Visual C++ 2010 redistributable you could either via a command-line switch or using an extraction tool (such as Winrar) get the msi-file from the package. The new breed of .EXE-file wasn’t so kind to us and there required some work (and a minor challenge) before it gave up the goods.
1. Install the software
2. Review the registry and find the following keys (these examples are for x64);
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{A2CB1ACB-94A2-32BA-A15E-7D80319F7589}]
As you can see – the install source is; C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{A2CB1ACB-94A2-32BA-A15E-7D80319F7589}v11.0.50727\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\
The name is Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 Minimum Runtime.
Minimum ? Sounds like there could be more…
Looking at; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{AC53FC8B-EE18-3F9C-9B59-60937D0B182C}
There is;
We can now extract two MSI-files – from the directories;
Additional runtime; C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{AC53FC8B-EE18-3F9C-9B59-60937D0B182C}v11.0.50727\packages\vcRuntimeAdditional_amd64\
Minimum; C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{A2CB1ACB-94A2-32BA-A15E-7D80319F7589}v11.0.50727\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\
If simply executing the extracted MSIs you get the following;
To install this product, please run Setup.exe. For other installation options, see the Installation section of ReadMe.htm.
Simply add the property ADDEPLOY=1 to bypass the check!
Howto update Microsoft Office via Microsoft Update when sequencing
So – this topic has surfaced quite a few times. So, here is a guide on howto update Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010. This assumes that you have a created a package of Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 already.
1. Revert you sequencer and ensure that you are allowed to use Windows Update.
2. Ensure it has Microsoft Update is installed
3. Ensure that Microsoft Update can be started within the sequencer;
Open the .SPRJ-file with Notepad.
Locate the line AllowMUADuringMonitoring and check the Value=”Yes”. If it doesn’t – change it and save the file.
4. Ensure that Office 2010 Deployment Kit for App-V is installed with the property SPD=1. You will need the bits the corresponds to your operating system version.
5. Start the Application Virtualization Sequencer. Choose to Modify an existing Package and choose to Add new application.
6. Select your package, pass-through the report. Choose to perform a custom installation
7. Run Microsoft Update and apply the desired updates.
8. Check I am finished installing and click Next.
9. If there are new configurations that require you to start Sharepoint Designer – you may do so. Otherwise its recommended to skip the manage first use tasks step when performing an upgrade. Click Next
10. Skip the post-package report and click Next. Choose Stop Now (unless you wish to optimize the package).
11. Save the package.
Open Text Document Pipeline Base and services
Within the Technet-forums there was an issue posted regarding a problem with sequencing Open Text Document Pipeline Base and it referred to several error messages that were generated while attempting to run the installer in monitoring mode when using the App-V 4.6 SP1 / SP2 beta sequencer
The main culprit seems to be that as part of the installation – a service is started, or as happens while sequencing; it tries to start the service that was installed. This actually assumes the fact that you would install the service to run within the local-system context – and not as a service account as that is not supported within App-V 4.x. Since the service can not be started – if you cancel, the installation rollbacks and renders your capture useless.
This service is called Archive Spawner – or spawner for short. If opening services.msc and choosing manually to initiate the startup – you get a message that tells you the service started and then stopped again. If attempting to check the properties of the service you would receive another error message with saying this; “The parameter is incorrect”.
Obviously – we don’t care about any parameters as the service started – and then stopped. The question here is – why it stopped? Lets attempt to start the process that would normally run in the context of the local-system account or a service-account for this piece of software;
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Open Text\Spawner\bin>spawner.exe spawner: cannot open file \00SPAWNER.conf
Well – thats odd. A file that attempts to be opened using the path of \00SPAWNER.conf. Verifying the activity with Process Monitor you can see that the service (spawner.exe) attempts to read the file c:\00SPAWNER.conf – which isn’t there. (yes – you can run Process Monitor while in monitoring mode – you just need to ensure that its properly started and loaded its device driver before you start any monitoring.). Poking around the package tells you that the file is placed here; C:\ProgramData\Open Text\CONF_DIRS.
As an installation while not beeing in monitoring mode doesn’t generate this error – what could be different while in monitoring mode?
Poking around the system we can see that the following system environment variables are created;
If checking via a command prompt – the following happens;
As you can see – no EMC variables are seen from within the Command-Prompt. This seems odd. As the Technet-forum post above stated – this seems to be succesfully sequenced within App-V 5 – so there has obviously been improvements to that area. Comparing the Command-Prompt output of “SET” while installing this application natively – does show our EMC environment variables and also shows them in the GUI. What can we do to resolve this problem? Creating the variables via the GUI does not seem to make any difference (they are already there), setting them via the SETX -command doesn’t do anything while we are in monitoring mode (not more visible after we run the command) – however, we could attempt to reset everything and set them as a prerequisite.
Run the following commands on the sequencer before you start the sequencer;
setx ECM_CONF_DIRS "C:\ProgramData\Open Text\CONF_DIRS" /M setx ECM_DOCUMENT_PIPELINE_BASE "C:\Program Files\Open Text\BASE Document Pipeline 9.7.1" /M setx ECM_DOCUMENT_PIPELINE_CONF "C:\ProgramData\Open Text\BASE Document Pipeline" /M setx ECM_LOG_DIR "C:\ProgramData\Open Text\var\LogDir" /M setx ECM_VAR_DIR "C:\ProgramData\Open Text\var" /M
Once you are in monitoring mode – the installation will now pass on without issues. Since there isn’t any entry point (aka virtual extension) for this application – there will not be an OSD-file generated. OSD-files usually contain the environment variable configuration – so you will need create a dummy file (shortcut to whatever you like) inorder to verify if the environment variables are captured within your package (most likely not) and actually show up within the OSD-file. You could attempt to run the setx-commands while in monitoring mode, that will unlikely ensure that they end up in the package as they already exist within the sequencer. Worst case – simply choose to open this in Edit Mode and then add the environment variables under the OSD-tab in the sequencer.
Could not transcode to local code page
If you have attempted to import a license into a Citrix License Server 11.9 and only got the following as feedback;
Could not transcode to local code page
Well – that could be because you have attempted to download several licenses into a single file. You should select one license and download it into a single file – that file will import successfully.
A thread on the matter;
11.9 License Server won’t read license file
