App-V 5.x User Scripts not working

Attempting to use App-V user start process scripts on a stand alone Windows 7 computer with local user accounts results in an error of

The application failed to launch
This may be due to a network failure
Error code: 0x0DF01725-00000534

Annoyingly, on Windows 10 (Anniversary) there is no visible or logged error at all, the app just fails to launch, even though the log acknowledges (4004 event) that the script has been called.

The workaround is to use domain accounts not local accounts.

Enabling the Windows 10 Native App-V Client

The Windows 10 Native App-V Client is not enabled by default.

Attempting to start the Microsoft App-V Client services produces an error:

Windows could not start the Microsoft App-V client on Local Computer.  For more information, review the System Event Log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code <error code here>.

You can enable the client by entering the powershell command

Enable-AppV

Group Policy can be used:
Open the device’s Local Group Policy Editor.
Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > App-V.
Run Enables App-V Client and then select Enabled on the screen that appears.
Restart the device.
