Publishing URL not getting updated

Question
-
Hi All,
I have installed APP-V 5.0 SP1 server components in my lab environment.following is the infra:-
=====================================================================
- Management Server (Port81) + Reporting Server (Port83) + Publishing Server (Port82) = Windows Server 2012 R2
- Management DB + Reporting Database = Windows Server 2012 R2 + SQL Server 2012 SP1
- APP-V Client 5.0 SP1/SP2 : Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
=====================================================================The installation went fine and I can access the Management console and have added few applications. But those are not getting updated tot he Publishing Server XML and still if I am accessing the publishing URL (Http://APP-VSERVER:82) I am receiving the default configuration XML without any update.
<Packages /></Publishing>
I can see the Management Database get updated if we add any application or package to the management server.
I am repeatedly receiving one error in event viewer:-
Event ID - 215
Message - The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS.Event ID - 214
Message - The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client version.Somewhere I have read that APP-V 5.0 SP2 is only supported on Windows Server 2012 R2. But there is not any SP2 version for Server components of APP-V 5.0. I have done APP_V 5.0 SP1 Servers on Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 (Without any service packs) for half a dozen of times without any issues.
Does APP-V 5.0 SP1 supports SQL 2012 with Service pack 1 (SQL2012 SP1)? Because in the pre-req docs the version of SQL 2012 mentioned is without SP1. ( App-V 5.0 Supported Configurations )

Hi Rorymon,
Yes I have gone through that thread also but none of the solution worked.
My first level of troubleshooting is Does APP-V 5.0 SP1 supports SQL 2012 with Service pack 1 (SQL2012 SP1)

Hello,
Are there any errors that would indicate that the synchronization by the Publishing server fails?
Have you assigned the applications to any AD-group that you are a member of, that would actually allow you to see any applications?

I have mentioned the errors with the Event ID in my starting post. Those are the errors I am receiving in the event viewer.
Event ID - 215
Message - The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS.Event ID - 214
Message - The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client version.Still it is not clearer to me that whether APP-V 5.0 SP1 supports SQL 2012 with Service pack 1 (SQL2012 SP1)
Yes I am the member of the group to which the application is published.

Hello,
As far as I know those errors are not errors per say. You will most likely see them in a healthy environment.
If you are so worried about the SQL-version, why not install it onto a version which is documented to be supported and attempt to repro the issue?

What output do you get when you open powershell on the Windows 7/8 client and type the following commands:
Import-Module appvclient
Get-AppvPublishingServer
Can you post the output here, might be usefull information.
This way we can check what config the client gets for the publishing server.

There is a hotfix that is needed to be installed on the APP_V 5.0 publishing server to support Windows 8.1. Click on the below hyper-link for more details.
I apologize for not responding to the thread when I got the solution.
Hotfix Package 2 for Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0 Service Pack 1
