App v for Java Runtime Environment

-
Application Type :- App V

Issues :-
JRE when present on local and virtual load the local version. Hence we need to make the virtual version to work.

Resolution and key notes:-

Procedure followed for the sequencing of this application
1) take clean sequencing machine (NO JRE(ANY VERSION) INSTALLED)
2) install JRE 1.6 locally on sequencing machine
3) launch "App-V Sequencer"
4) Click "Begin Monitoring"
5) during monitoring open "appwiz.cpl" and uninstall JRE 1.6
6) run the command from cmd "shutdown -r -t 0" to complete uninstallation of JRE 1.6
7) App-V sequencer captures the restart.  Just stop monitoring and start monitoring (to complete restart process)
8)  Now install the JRE 1.4 (during monitoring)
9) After completion of intallation create shorcut pointing to "iexplorer.exe"
10) Stop monitoring and save the captured sequence.
Test the sequence package with www.javatester.org/version.html
Packge works fine in both user and admin without any conflict with local JRE installed
Internet shortcut be created for the JRE files of this version to be loaded

      Hey,

      are you installing multiple versions of JRE on the build. This recipe is used when you want to virtualize an older version of JRE and build already has a new version of JRE

    HI Nikhil,

    Thank you for your post on sequencing Java with App-V 5.0. I have sequenced Java 1.6_20 as per your directions and also in a regulsr way. But when I launch the IE on the client it is asking me for Admin Rights just for the first time. Do you know anything about this? I sequenced the same eith 4.6 which works fine on 4.6 client but when I convert it, it again asks me for Admin Rights. Please let me know. I am stuck as I am new to App-v 5.0.

      Hey,

      Did you try launching the app during the sequencing ?
      Check that way once.

      If that is not working, try the following in the OSD in the shortcut, ideally this works for admin privileges

      RunAsInvoker


      Cheers

    Hi Nikhil,

    I apply same method of your process
    In fact i would like sequencing java 1.6.45 from Windows 7 64bits with jre 1.7.21 on local machine.
    So first time when i launch sequencing i remove java on machine means java jre1.7.21 after that i install java 1.6.45 and i created shorcut to pointing iexplorer.exe from ProgramFiles (X86).
    Finally i stop monitoring and install virtual package appv JRE1.6.45 on other machine with same parameters ( java on local mahine is 1.7.21).
    But when i launch shorcut i receive same message of admin rights?

    Thank you for your help.

      Install and uninstall 1.7.21 during sequencing
      Do not launch while sequencing

app v for mindjet mindmanager

-
Type :- App v  (contains add in and drivers, hence app v can only be done without them) Issues :- 1) installs PDF writer (driver) 2) contains add ins 3) Dictionary function error Solution and key points :- 1)MindManager  when installed with default settings with admin privileges, installs a printer (PDF-Xchange 3.0). On installing the source with custom settings, we are able to disable the feature for the PDF-Xchange. And the source works fine . The function of Export to PDF has been removed by disabling the feature of pdf writer. 2) User\%Sft_Sid%\Software\Mindjet\MindManager\8\Custom Dictionary\ 3) These keys had data for a Custom Dictionary ("custom.dic") in User's App.Data folder. Removed this data and set the number of dictionaries to "0", with "MindManager.dic" as Current. 4) contains add ins for microsoft office (excel , word, powerpoint) , hence we need to create a shortcut of the excel , word, powerpoint to load the add ins...

Structure of MSI package

-
Logical structure of packages A package describes the installation of one or more full products (Windows Installer does not handle dependencies between products) and is universally identified by a GUID (the PackageCode property). A product is made up of components, grouped into features. Products A single, installed, working program (or set of programs) is a product. A product is identified by a unique GUID (the ProductCode property) provides an authoritative identity throughout the world. The GUID, in combination with the version number (ProductVersion property) allow for release management of the software's files and registry keys. A product is not the same as a package: a package is identified by a unique GUID (stored in the Summary Information Stream) and provides identity and release management for all the contents of the .MSI file. Release management of a Product pertains only to changes in the files and registry keys that make up a software application. Release managem...
