Hi
Briefly.. I have a sequenced app on Appv5sp3 that requires a hook into word2013
The inhouse app uses word when printing out forms
Can this be added to the config XML file?
Im unable to capture this at is ran from a secure live system

If Word is also a app-v package, create a connectiongroup with both packages.
If wordt is installed locally:
1) Use runvirtual to let you virtual app hook with the local version of word
2) Use a custom shortcut, pointing to word.exe and append the /appvve switch.
Have a look here. You are running SP3.
If you want to use option 1) you need to create a script to run at publishing time to alter the registry. If you go for option 2), you can modify the userconfig and add a shortcut (or just create a shortcut to word (without appvve switch) while at sequencings stage).Roy Essers

You need to follow steps like how Roy has explained. You can refer this blog also. The run virtual and /appvve can be added in the config files through scripts or batch files.

great!! just keep in mind, you can only configure 1 package to run with a specific exe through runvirtual. If you want more, you need to create a connectiongroup, and let runvirtual point to the mandatory package from that group.
