Searching the application (both GUI options and registry) to try to configure the app to not show the Quit menu was unsuccessful there does not seem to be a way to configure it off.Īnother student listening to the problem had a great suggestion. If you are thinking that enabling the “LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED” policy for the app might help, you would be wrong.
The error looks like something outside the virtual environment attempting to access the skype executable inside the bubble - something it cannot do. The App-V client log and Windows Event log do not record the error, even with App-V client logging set to verbose. Note that the error happens from Skype and not the App-V client. Natively installed, this Quit works as expected, but when sequenced and running in the client, the student found that he received an error from the Skype application: The “Quit” item on this menu appears whether or not you sequence the application. If you launch this version of Skype on Windows 7 and right click on the Skype icon on the task bar, the menu looks like this: The student was sequencing Skype version 5.3.32.108, which includes a custom context sensitive menu for the task bar. Jump list also supports new context sensitive menus on the task bar that apps can take advantage of. The most obvious of these features are pinning, and the mini app display if you hover the task bar item of an app that supports it (the miniture display of minimized apps that appears for some apps).
This is a collection of new features that you can notice in the task bar of the Windows Desktop. Windows 7 is different than prior operating systems in that it has what Microsoft refers to as the “jump list”. Skype is a reasonably behaved application, but he was having an issue with sequencing on Windows 7 back at his office and brought it in because it uses out an unusual form of shell extension that he couldn’t figure out and it required a creative work-around. In our most recent class, one of the students brought in Skype. While the class includes labs that use standard apps highlight certain aspects of sequencing, we try to leave time for students to sequence without a script in front of themselves – we find that students learn the lessons the best when they try it on their own after being “trained” and making mistakes. In our App-V Masters Level Training Classes we invite students to bring in some of their own “interesting” applications to sequence.
