ACE207: App-V Conflicts in Root Folder Names

AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Application Manager

ACE207 checks whether two or more packages have the same long or short name for the root folder. These names must be unique because two packages with the same root folder name cannot be deployed simultaneously. ACE207 can be run against an App-V source package and against only an App-V target package.

Error

Message

Package [PACKAGE_NAME] has a conflicting root Directory [DIRECTORY_NAME] with package [PACKAGE_NAME].

Background

If two or more packages have the same long or short name for the root folder, an error is generated.

Resolution

Manual Fix

To resolve this issue:

1.

Open the App-V package in the Virtual Package Editor.

2.

In the View List under Package Information, click General Information.

3.

In the Root Folder Name setting, replace the duplicate folder name with a unique folder name.

Note:Instances of the old package’s root folder name may still exist in location-related configuration data, such as in registry entries, .ini files, or XML files in the App-V package. The root folder name is not updated in those areas automatically if you change the root folder name in the General Information view.

Therefore, if you know that the old package contains configuration data, you may need to identify where it is. Then you can use the Virtual Package Editor to update the root folder name as necessary. For example, you may want to use the Virtual Package Editor to extract a configuration file from the package. Next, you can update the root folder name in the file. In the Virtual Package Editor, you would then delete the old file from the App-V package, and add the updated file.
