App-V 5 and scripts

Question
-
Hi,
Anyone who has tried to use scripts in App-V 5?
I have a strange issue. I have tried a simple bat/vbs file and applied this to a package. I have inserted a <UserScripts><Startprocess> or <UserScripts><StartVirtualEnvironment> between the <UserConfiguration></UserConfiguration> part.
BUT,
Example 1:
appData = sh.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%AppData%")
WScript.Echo appDataWill return "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming"
Example 2:
UserName = ObjShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%username%")
wscript.echo UserNameWill return my Computers name.
So it seems like the scripts aren't runned as the user. But if I look in the taskmanager, the script seems to run as the user...
Any input?

Where are you putting this? In the Deployment Config? Or in the Dynamic user Config?
Deployment configuration also has a UserConfiguration element in addition to MachineConfiguration. Yet we need this to be under the user's context. If this is Dynamic User config and it is still happening, I would definitely open a call.Steve Thomas, Senior Consultant, Microsoft

I choosed to export the current configuration from the package I had uploaded to the Publishing server so I get one XML-file with both the Machine and User parts.
Then I added the script part between the <UserConfiguration> and </UserConfiguration>. Then uploaded the XML file to the package.
Right or wrong?
