App-V 5 Launch Failure - may be due to a network failure





The application failed to launch.
This may be due to a network failure
Error code: 0x4C408B0C-80070002


The first response to this message would probably be a considering of weather it was actually a network failure.  Generally this message would appear if the App-V package was unavailable.

However, this can occur if the package has managed to arrive in some partial or corrupted way.  The following powershell commands can resolve this problem and re enable the application to launch correctly

Run as admin:
remove-appvclientpackage -name <PackageName>

Run as user:
get-appvclientpackage -name <PackageName>

this should verify that the package has been removed.

sync-appvpublishingserver 1

to refresh the available App-V packages on the client

get-appvclientpackage -name <PackageName>

to verify the the application is available again.

mount-appvclientpackage -name <PackageName>

to fully pull down the package prior to launching.
