App-V error messages

Wanting to see if anyone has an idea about an error we are getting when trying to run applications via App-V.
This is educational software, and some are the same Vendor, Same product, but different editions. This causes problems because the folder structure from Start>Programs>(Vendor Name)>Product Name.

Error we get is:
Error message when you try to start an application in SoftGrid Client: "A package with the same asset folder name already exists. Error code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx09-0000E019"

SYMPTOMS
When you try to start an application in Microsoft SoftGrid Client, the application does not start. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
The SoftGrid Client could not launch application_name.
A package with the same asset folder name already exists. Please report the following error code to your System Administrator.
Error code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx09-0000E019

CAUSE
This issue occurs when an application that has the same package root directory already exists in the SoftGrid Client cache.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
• Remove the conflicting application from the SoftGrid Client cache.

Important Do this only if you want the application to be permanently disabled.
• Re-sequence the new application by using a different package root directory.
• Open the new application in the Sequencer, click Save As, and then specify a new package root directory.

For example, consider the following scenario. SoftGrid Example Application 7.0 is sequenced to "Q:\sft_ea.v1," and is started in the SoftGrid Client. Then, SoftGrid Example Application 8.0 is sequenced to "Q:\sft_ea.v1," and is started in the SoftGrid Client.

In this scenario, SoftGrid Example Application 7.0 is already in cache, and it is using "Q:\sft_ea.v1." Therefore, SoftGrid Example Application 8.0 does not start.



We are Windows Vista across the company. We also, do not want multiple folders in Start>Programs with the same folder name with slight variations of the folder name.

Is there a way to resolve this problem, or anyone else run into this?

Hi,

Unless I am mistaken, it seems that you have multiple versions of the same software and want to make only one version available to the user at a time. In this situation you will probably want to configure the App-V package for each new version of the software as an upgrade of the App-V package created for the previous version.

You can do this in InstallShield by going to the Microsoft App-V Assistant - Package Information page - Upgrade Settings option in left side under More Options. Then select the package that was built previously for the previous version and build.

The new App-V package that is created in this manner should upgrade the previously published version and not run into the error you are seeing.

Regards,
Ajay
