To make sure the sequenced app-v package the following changes are required.
​
in the description of the 'Properties' tab add the version and any other support comments.
​
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b83e6b_cd0444bee54c4fde939829f2f3604e50~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_60,h_33,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/b83e6b_cd0444bee54c4fde939829f2f3604e50~mv2.png)
The DCOM error was related to the MS Edge services for updating itself. certainly dont want that.
​
Change the 3 services 'Start' to 4 (disabled), in the 'Virtual Registry' tab.
​

Without the following folder deletion MS Edge will not work, it fails to load during testing with error '0xc0000142'. This is not due to 8.3 name creations being disabled.
​
Delete both 'System' and 'Windows' directories
​

This what the folder structure will look like after the tidy up.

Now for a quick test of the sequences package. From Windows 10 1607 App-V was integrated and requires enabling.
​
Open elevated Powershell window and run the following, no reboots required
Enable-AppV
To publish the sequenced package and ultimately test its functionality, run the following command
Add-AppvClientPackage -Path 'C:\Packages\Edge\Microsoft Edge Browser.appv' -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration 'C:\Packages\Edge\Microsoft Edge Browser_DeploymentConfig.xml' |
Publish-AppvClientPackage -Global
The package will publish and mount itself in C:\ProgramData\App-V. This may take a while and some of the files may appear offline until its fully published.

Go to the Start Menu and launch 'Microsoft Edge'. Not forgetting that Edge was previously installed during the sequencing. Check the shortcut to make sure its the correct version.
​
Or run 'Appwiz.cpl' and remove Microsoft Edge

Now copy the sequenced package to the host and up to ConfigMgr for deployment. This will be covered next
