Message (Error for App-V 4.x, App-V 5.x, ThinApp, and XenApp; Warning for Server App-V)

This package contains a shell extension (key [1]). Shell extensions extend Windows Explorer and cannot be loaded from a virtual package. This extension may be critical to the use of this application, and if so this application will not function when virtualized. However, if this extension is non-critical, the application can still be used.

[1] is the key of a shell extension that is included in the project.

Description

ISVICE12 checks for the presence of shell extensions.

Corrective Action

Evaluate how important the shell extension is to the product so that you can determine if it matters whether the shell extension behaves as intended. If the shell extension is unimportant, it is probably safe to deploy a virtualized version of the product with slightly reduced functionality. If the shell extension is important, a virtualized version of the product may not function well.
