HI All,
I'm working on a deployment using Horizon to publish applications. The applications are hosted on an Instant Clone RDSH Farm and are mounted using Applications in App Volumes 4.
However, we're seeing an issue where the Horizon agent isn't able to find the application, even though the Application vdmk has been mounted to the VM:
2020-08-03T14:44:34.582+02:00 INFO (11A4-17A4) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_applaunchmgr] Creating Shortcut from "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Completion String Design.lnk"
2020-08-03T14:44:34.582+02:00 INFO (11A4-17A4) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_applaunchmgr] Resolving shortcut "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Completion String Design.lnk"
2020-08-03T14:44:34.582+02:00 ERROR (11A4-17A4) <MessageFrameWorkDispatch> [ws_applaunchmgr] "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Completion String Design.lnk": failed to load IPeristFile
I'm suspecting that App Volumes isn't actually creating the start menu entries until a user actually logs in, but this would totally break Horizon's discovery of the app(s). The VMware documentation is wonderfully vague on publishing applications using App Volumes and seems to imply that "it just works."
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Am I missing something?
Environment details:
App Volumes Manager 4, version 2006
App Volumes Agent 4.1.0.57
Horizon 7.10
Windows Server 2016 RDS Hosts (Instant Clones)
