I'm testing App-V 5 and I find myself pining for OSD files.

I can't figure out how to get a script to run. I've read through http://blogs.technet.com/b/appv/archive/2012/12/10/scripting-and-embedded-scripting-for-appv-5-0-dynamic-deployment-and-user-configuration-scripting.aspx and it says what files to edit but nothing about how to make these changes actually take effect.

Am I supposed to be able to just edit the UserConfig or DeploymentConfig xml's and then the script will run?
Do I edit them and then unpublish and republish?
Do I edit the xml's, delete the package, add the package, and then publish?
Do I have to do a user or global sync to get the changes to propagate to the client? A reboot?
As was suggested in the post "App-V 5 and scripts" I tried exporting the configuration, editing that, and re-importing it. That had no effect and when I exported again the changes I had imported weren't there.

I've tried everything above and can't seem to make the script run or find any hint of an error. Speaking of errors should the Client \ Admin and Virtual Applications logs be empty? Is there some sort of debug logging I can enable?

You specify user scripts in UserConfig.xml and machine scripts in DeploymentConfig.xml. Why are there user script examples in DeploymentConfig.xml then?

Oh, and I do have scripts enabled via Group Policy and a Get-AppVClientConfiguration confirms it.

Here's what I'm adding to the UserConfig section:

    <UserScripts xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appv/2010/userconfiguration">        <StartProcess RunInVirtualEnvironment="true">          <Path>c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe</Path>          <Arguments>\\server\share$\test.vbs</Arguments>          <Wait RollbackOnError="true" />          <ApplicationId>Test.vbs</ApplicationId>        </StartProcess>      </UserScripts>

Hopefully I'm doing something dumb, wouldn't be the first time.

To successfully deploy a Citrix solution, it's important to be aware of how users are interacting with the environment, understand the purpose of the environment, and plan how the environment fits into the support structure. In the course of my 8+ years with Citrix I have seen countless customer environments, and being aware of the items above can make or break your deployment. At a…
