    Hey guys, we had an issue as described in the article number listed in the title whereby once a Windows 7 PC hit the desktop after login it would only show a black screen with a notification balloon to say services had failed to start. Here is the link:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2590550

    Anyway, my question is this - I have started deploying App-V 4.6 SP2 as standard on our Windows 7 build - I assumed the above hotfix would be included... however... after building several PCs and logging in I have encountered the dreaded black screen as above.

    Can I assume then the above hotfix is not included? Are hotfixes not included because its only recommended to install them when you encounter the issue specified? Or is the hotfix included and I am facing another issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    That's a Windows hotfix, not an App-V client hotfix. You'll have to include that hotfix separately in your build.
