When we are sequencing the applications, we need to be mindful of which one we can sequence and which one we cannot. Also there are certain limitations when using App-V.
Here is a list of application functions and limitations of App-V sequencing;

Limitation
|
Description
|
Applications that start services at boot time
|
•
App-V requires a logged in
user to initiate the launch of an application.
|
Applications that require device drivers
|
•
App-V cannot virtualize drivers. It is possible to bypass this issue
and install the driver locally on the target computer.
•
Some user-mode device drivers
can be virtualized.
|
Applications that are required by several
applications for information or access
|
•
For example, a program that will initiate a command and launch another
program. Normally both programs would be included in the same suite. However if this application launches or
initiates commands in several applications it may not be feasible to include
all of the applications in the same suite.
•
This is especially true if one of the reasons for deploying App-V is
to avoid application conflicts. Always
remember that the virtual “bubble” can see the OS and what’s installed on it
but the OS cannot see the “bubble” and interact with it. On the same note, remember that one “bubble”
cannot see another unless they are brought into the same virtual environment
using Connection Groups.
|
Applications that are a part of the OS
|
•
Such as Internet Explorer
|
Applications that use COM+
|
•
Because COM+ is dynamic and happens at runtime,
there’s no way for the Sequencer to capture this information.
|
COM DLL surrogate virtualization
|
•
For example, DLLs that run in Dllhost.exe
