Good day!

Try to limit parallel working application. Create new rule for licensing, set 2 application working at the same time and apply the rule for required application. But i still can work with unlimited number of application. Do i need some additional settings ?

GrexIt is a Citrix Startup Accelerator company that adds core collaboration capabilities to good old (comfortable) email - in other words they enable email collaboration. This is cool stuff. Here are some of their thoughts on how to take an existing technology (email) and make just enough changes to let existing behaviors achieve ever so much more.

KB: A Microsoft Application Virtualization MSI run from a mapped drive fails to install the virtual package

Posted: 30 Oct 2012 11:36 AM PDT

Here's a new Knowledge Base article we published. This one talks about an issue where a Microsoft Application Virtualization MSI run from a mapped drive fails to install the virtual package.

=====

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

- You have created a Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Virtual Package and placed the package contents on a network share.
- You have mapped a drive to this network share.
- You attempt to install this Virtual Package by double clicking on the .MSI file located on the mapped drive.

In this scenario, the package fails to install. No on screen errors are seen and the virtual package does not show in the list of virtual packages.
Additionally, in the Application Event logs you see the following MsiInstaller Event:

Log Name: Application
Source: MsiInstaller
Date:
Event ID: 1033
Task Category: None
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: User1
Computer: Computer1
Description:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: My Virtual Package. Product Version: 1.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Installation success or error status: 1603.

Cause

The mapped drive that holds the .MSI and the .APPV files is only available for access in the Users' own context, however the MSI Installation is done using the System context. The System context does not have the appropriate privileges to access the mapped drive.

Resolution

Run the MSI directly from a network share (e.g. \\server\share\MyVirtualPackage.MSI) or copy the package to a local drive on the client computer.
Also ensure that the computer account (the computer you are logged into) also has access to the network share.
