Possible causes Invalid Prog. IDs (file type association) Shortcuts (Ink files with a space at the end) Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel

Invalid Prog. IDs (filetype association) Application: Paint. Dot. Net 3. 5. 10 http: //www. tmurgent. com/Tm. Blog/? p=1118 Appears to be specific to this or only some apps. Other apps I tried this with had no issue. Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel

Invalid manifest detected http: //packageology. com/2014/08/sometimes-fix-crashing-sequencer-imgburn-recipe/ The Appx. Manifest. xml schema does not allow backslashes in Prog. Id names, so this was causing the error, found by exactly the same troubleshooting steps listed for Img. Burn. The fix in this case was to move these Prog. Ids into their own keys PCOMW. BCH and PCOMW. WS and update the file extension keys to suit, essentially replacing the backslash with a dot. Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel

What else can we do? Sequencing the APP with App-V 4. 6 and convert package to APP-V 5. 0 Finding another way to inject this files ; -) à Let’s try it with Gridmetric APP-V Explorer (you have to buy a license) http: //gridmetric. com/products/ave. html Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel
