Enable Browser Controls

Enable Browser Controls is activated automatically by the sequencer if they are detected.  Watch out though. It is important to understand this concept described by Tim Mangan here

Briefly, Tim explains that if IE is launching with a connection group to supply visualized components then override settings on the registry keys need to be changed to merge.  Otherwise one of the app-v packages will work while the rest do not.

Teradata Tools and Utilites (TTU) 15.10

First crack looked fine until the SQL Assistant crashed on launch.  Much head scratching until the realization that the shortcut was pointing to startup.exe but the actual process was SQLA.EXE.  Launching SQLA.EXE in the bubble worked fine, so the shortcut was successfully changed from startup.exe to SQLA.EXE.  startup.exe must be some kind of launcher stub used for unknown reasons and incompatible with App-V 5.

ODBC DSNs may be required so watch out for those.

While troubleshooting, launching during sequencing or use of the PVAD caused this error during the save operation:

The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007139F

This was tracked down to the TTUProductList shortcut with an invalid path to its icon file.  Correct the icon path to point to a valid file resource and check that the file resources do not have a bad path to the original icon file.  The path seen in the sequencer window had an invalid  ..  (2dots)  in the tree which looked like it could cause trouble.

Inmagic DBTextWorks 13 needs PVAD

Inmagic DBTextWorks 13 needs to have the PVAD for a successful sequence.  Using the defaults and sequencing to the VFS results in an error.  During launch the application checks for the presence of critical files and throws an error if it does not find them.  A similar error with a normal path could be generated on a conventional install by renaming the dbtext32.cmx file.  The error from the application showing the strange path led to the idea that the PVAD might correct the problem.
