App-V 5 App not launching / repair error code 040000002C
If this key, associated with a users SID, is incorrectly formed then App-V apps may not launch for the user and app-v repair commands return an error code 040000002C
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Virtualization\LocalVFSSecuredUsers
S-1-5-21-1529150018-825634664-3829716540-1086429
REG_SZ
C:\users\default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS
This is incorrect they key should have the correct value of:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS
Changing the data value and rebooting resolves the issue.
The cause of the key change to the incorrect key is unknown at the time of posting.
