AppV5 Package has usurped a natively installed control |
This can cause issues if you are not careful about the deployments of your AppV packages as well as Windows will now natively use some libraries that may have security concerns. This can also cause some issues if poorly written applications have specific version requirements and if multiple packages are installed with overlapping files/keys, it appears the last loaded package wins.
In one particular example I made an 'Internet Explorer' package that changed the registry keys within IE so it would identify itself as IE 6. Doing this resulted in the http key being changed as well:
This resulted in every programatic launch of a URL to launch iexplore.exe within a different AppV bubble. This was unexpected as I do Internet Explorer customizations within my packages so that when you launch IE you have the IE customizations for that app all with you. This one package caused issues as http launches to went into this package as opposed to the package you were in when you launched it.
So, if you have a machine that loads multiple packages, be aware of these potential issues.
