App-V 5.0 sequencer failures, crashes and hangs

MS Visual SourceSafe 6.0 - app-v 5.0 sequencer hangs when attempting to run setup.exe.  One workaround is to run the setup.exe program then cancel before the Application Compatibility Program prompts you that Visual Studio has compatibility issues running on this version of windows.  Then run the sequencer and run the ACMBOOT.EXE program which does the install of Visual SourceSafe 6.0.

Here is a round up of sequencer failure reasons
