Disable MSI Uninstall

This is an unusual requirement but if there is a situation that justifies disabling the uninstall the following settings provide for it.

Set the standard action LaunchCondition in the InstallExcuteSequence table to have a condition of  REMOVE~="ALL"

Set an entry in the LaunchCondition table

Not Installed      Uninstall Disabled


If an uninstall is started the Condition of the LaunchCondition standard action in the InstallExecuteSequence table evaluates to TRUE

The LaunchCondition of Not Installed evaluates to FALSE and prevents the uninstall from continuing.

If /qb is used "Uninstall Disabled" is displayed to the user.  /qn is fully silent. The uninstall Exit code will be 1603.

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.

Autodesk products needing VC ++

The SCCM deployment fails to install one of the prerequisite VC runtimes.  Installed normally the complete process works correctly.

Where an SCCM deployed installation has occurred.  AutoCAD LT 2015 will fail to launch and generate an error message referring to MSVCP110.dll

To resolve this issue run the installation of the missing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64) - 11.0.61030.

It is in the source media location .\Img\3rdParty\x64\VCRedist\2012UPD4\vcredist_x64.exe

It can be located in the SCCM cache

C:\Windows\ccmcache\XX\Img\3rdParty\x64\VCRedist\2012UPD4\vcredist_x64.exe

Where XX is the SCCM assigned folder name.  The cache location can be found by searching the cache for acadlt.msi

DWG TrueView 2015 also requires this prerequisite and gives a launch error referring to VCOMP110.dll
