SWV 7.5.522 unable to create Reg entries more than 2 levels deep in GUI
I need a solution
I ran into an issue where I was trying to create several registry keys inside of an already packaged SWV app using the Workspace Admin GUI. It seems that when I try to add a new registry key thats more than one level deep the key either doesn't show up at all (it does show up in the SWV Layer, i.e. HKLM\_SWV_LAYER_1) or registry editor throws an error and won't open the key.
Environment is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I've tested on 3 different systems with the same result.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create empty layer
- Edit and add registry to HKLM\Software\Test
- Activate layer and browse to registry location and key will open
- Deactivate layer and add a subkey so it's like HKLM\Software\Test\TestSub1
- Activate layer and attempt to browse to subkey, registry editor says it can't open/find location
- Create .reg file with entries like above, run from layer cmd.exe and do reg import of .reg file. Keys will now open fine.
I've attached screenshots showing how to reproduce the issue.

Error code 1089 if using global excludes
I need a solution
Hello,
I'm working with SWV 7.5.522 under Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 and I've found a bug while trying to do the same that we do under our Windows 7 x86 installation (SWV 6.4.1550).
The problem is the following: if we add global exclusions for drive letters that doesn't exist in the computer (we usually exclude D:\ to Z:\) when you try to do anything in SVSAdmin (create a layer, activate a layer, etc.) then you get an Unexpected error/Error code 1089 message.
We exclude all the drive letters for historical reasons. We've used a lot of SWV versions and we found a lot of bugs in the product while testing Windows 7 in the past. One of them was not exclude a network or USB drive letter, so data was written in the layer instead in the base for the actual drive letter. So, we have continued using the global exclusions for all non hard disk drive letters.
Can you test it in your environment?Is there any more recent version of SWV?
Thanks.
PS: Sorry for my english ...

Certain Variables of SWV 7.5 version not resolving correctly
I need a solution
HI,
In SWV 7.5 version the [TEMP] and [USERPROFILE] variable is not resolving correctly i.e. it by default takes the variable as:
[TEMP] %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\abc\local settings\Temp
[USERPROFILE] %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\abc
While this should have resolved as:
[TEMP] C:\Documents and Settings\abc\local settings\Temp
[USERPROFILE] C:\Documents and Settings\abc
Due to this certain application is not working successfully while in lower version as it resolves, it works
Hence is there any way to change the Variable settings of Symantec 7.5 version?

Issues while virtualising office 2010 in swv 7.5
I need a solution
In win7 and xp when we activate our office 2010 package captured using swv 7.5 virtualisation admin and when we create and save a file using infopath designer 2010 and try to open it using infopath filler 2010 it fails saying "The specified path can not be found" .
The troublshooting that i have done so far leads me to the conclusion that it is related to some faulty resolving of [temp] and [userprofile] in swv 7.5
these variables resolved correctly in lower version of swv 6.1. (This app functionality works fine when captured using lower version swv 6.1)
as per swv 7.5
[TEMP] %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\abc\local settings\Temp
[USERPROFILE] %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\abc
as per swv 6.1
[TEMP] C:\Documents and Settings\abc\local settings\Temp
[USERPROFILE] C:\Documents and Settings\abc
Can anyone please suggest whats going wrong here?
Another issue in windows xp
Virtualised copy of office 2010 captured using swv 7.5 has some weird behaviour related to sent to onenote printer.
When we give print and select the onenote printer it gives multiple prints (each captured copy so far has different no. of prints been given for a single print instance)
This functionality works fine when captured using swv 6.1
Please throw some light on whats going on here??

SWV and Firefox
I need a solution
Hi Guys,
We are trying to capture Firefox with add-ons with SWV. I can happily import to a virgin machine and the layer activates fine but doesn't hold any of our custom settings. The add-ons have not come across either.
Can someone please advise on where I am going wrong.
Thanks

Add-ins cause error 1606 on Word 2010 launch
I need a solution
Hi, I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this?
I have Office 2010 captured on Win XP sp1 and running on Win 7 sp1.
If I add an application which includes an office addin as a seperate layer, I get this error when launching Word 2010:
Error 1606. Could not access network location
[:B_]APPDATA:USER_TEMPLATE[_E_]\Microsoft\MSDN\8.0.
The beginning of the variable does not look correct to me. I guessed it should be [_B_] , but I may be wrong on this.
If the variable is wrong, that would explain why the path couldn't be accessed. I have been unable to find any reference to [:B_] in the registry or by a file search.
Other than this one issue, the layer works fine.
[UPDATE] Using the same layers in Win XP, the problem does not occur. I'm hoping I can find a way to avoid a re-capture in Win7.

VZROCK.LNK
I need a solution
Hi Community,
I am completely new to this great piece of software: Symantec Workspace Virtualization 7.5
I am using it at home, just for private use. No Streaming, no servers, no big projects, just for keeping my Windows system as clean as possible.
After having virtualized a few applications (on a system I just set up a few days ago) I noticed a - for me - strange behavior of my system: a shortcut, named VZROCK.LNK appears at irregular intervals on my desktop, in the StartMenu or in active folders. It links always to itself, i.e. "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" or "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu". So it's sized 0 bytes at all. In almost split seconds it disappears again. It's even hard to get to properties-Tab in that short time.
I haven't found a way to reproduce it, yet. It doesn't seem to be affected by showing or hiding "hidden"- or "system"-flagged elements. In fact I am not sure whether this has anything to do with SWV at least. I just thought it might have something to do with SWV, because the running Symantec Services are named VzService.exe and vzUser.exe - both with VZ in the name...
- Is this a known effect on a definite application, for example?
- Shall I concern about? Or is it a regular behavior?
Of course I asked my friend google, but there were only one forum entry (http://www.murc.ws/showthread.php?72805-shortcut-vzrock-appears-on-desktop-during-firefox-operations). At least quite actual!
I have a second system set up with nearly the same virtualized applications. Yet, I couldn't notice the same behavior there.
Malware scan with Outpost Security Suite 9 is negative...
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Nagus

Any Active SVS layer prevents forefront from updating
I need a solution
We use SCEP (Forefront) Microsofts AntiVirus product to manage AV in our envrionment. Since mid December, all our dat files fail if we have any layer active. If we deactivate the layer, it updates. Turning the layer back on it fails again. We have tested this on SVS sp7,8 and 7.5. If we turn off the layer, update the dat, reactivate the dat and reboot, the dat file reverts. This is happening on layers that have been around for years or brand new layers.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Citrix Reciever fails after layer reset
I need a solution
Having some trouble with Citrix Reciever. Whenever I reset the layer it stops working as intended when starting applications from a Citrix WI.
Scenario:
- Activate the layer on a new pc.
- With Internet Explorer (9), navigate to a Citrix WI site and launch any application. It works.
- Close it and reset the layer.
- Try again and nothing happens. No error messages or log activity.
System:
- Windows 7 with latest updates.
- Symantec Workspace Virtualization: 6.4.1953
- Symantec Workspace Streaming: 6.4.0.757
- Symantec Virtual Composer: 6.4.0.750_38302
Capture (from cmd.exe):
- CitrixReceiver.exe /noreboot ADDLOCAL=”ICA_Client,SSON” ENABLE_SSON=yes ENABLE_DYNAMIC_CLIENT_NAME=Yes
Exludes:
- .ica
Events:
I had an issue where the citrix client wanting to use "C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files" as a workspace for the temporary ICA file. This path was found in the following registry key, I change this with a event script
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths]"Directory"="%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files"
I'm assuming this is a "local" problem and an issue for our images used for deployment. I just wanted to mention it regarding the troubleshooting.
---
Anyone else experienced this? I can't find any solution to this with my rundowns in Process Monitor and such. If user runs as administrator it works as expected. Maybe I just worked myself blind on this? :)

How to virtualize Internet Explorer 10?
I need a solution
Hey guys,
Has anyone successfully virtualized IE10 using WVC 6.1 SP8(Possibly 7.5)?
We have IE 8 installed natively as a part of OS (Win7 x86). I have tried to turn off IE component but I always got to the same result. Problem is that when I run the install it downloads required updates but to me it seems that everything is beiing installed after a reboot, before log in.
I can see after capturing that "RunOnce" key has a Data called "BrandClearStubs" with a following value: "RUNDLL32 IEDKCS32.DLL,BrandCleanInstallStubs >{3EE2EE2A-1D4C-4447-8B0E-7B26F2CE5949}" but I dont know how could I ran it as a standalone command and use an option "Add to layer".
I tried some tools which capture what is happening to OS after reboot, then take all these files and registries and place them into layer manually but it did not work.
Does anyone have experience with making it work? Or do you know if LDF for this one is going to be released soon? I would be interested to find a way how to do it also without LDF.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

System Drive Running Out Of Space While Exporting Layer
I need a solution
Given:
- 25 GB System Drive (C)
- 100 GB Virtualization Drive (V)
- and a layer of 30 GB
the system runs out of space while exporting the layer from SWV admin 7.5. I am assuming the admin is using the C drive for temporary storage while preparing files for export.
Is there any way to direct where the temporary files are stored, or another way around this problem?

Issues with avaiability of packeges (Waiting for training)
I need a solution
Hey there,
I'm wondering if there is someone out there, who can help me with a special issue which we have.
We are looking into SWS and application streming for our VDI environment, I have some packages intergrated into SWS and the streaming works well so far.
One of the packages (VISIO) is not streaming, the user is not receiving any kind of application stream, and the only difference to other packages ist the "current status" whihc is green, but in "waiting for training"
The option "training" is not active (but it does not affect the streaming anyway if i'm activating the option, the result is the same one)
Any ideas?
Regards,
Alex

Symantec Workspace Virtualization (SWV) and Windows 7 with IE6

Altiris' Symantec Workspace Virtualization (SWV) agent and Windows 7 with IE6
I am working on virtualizing IE6 for our Windows 7 clients using the downloadable LDF files from Symantec. The process successfully creates the .xpf file and virtual session. I have imported and activated the product successfully, but once I attempt to run virtual IE6, and as soon as I click anywhere in the browser, I am receiving the error "iedw.exe - Application Error" "The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."
I have run virtual IE6 in Windows XP successfully but it is Windows 7 where I really need to run it and cannot. Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
