Problems sequencing SAP Dashboard SP4

Question
-
Hello,
I'm having an issue sequencing SAP Dashboard SP4.
I'm using Sequencer 4.6 SP1 on Windows 7 x64 VMWare machine. First, I install Dashboards SP4 and update the package with FP06.
When attempting to start my App-V package on clean Windows 2008 R2 machine with 4.6 SP1 client installed, I receive error starting Xcelsius.exe (pasted below)
However, after attempting to start Dashboard from shortcut 2-3 times, it ultimately starts.
I've attempted to disable UAC, made sfttray.exe to run as admin, but no cigar. Could someone point me to right direction with this.

Okay, I think I have pinpointed the culprit. SAP Dashboards 4.0 SP4 has update "Patch 6" released and it should be installed after main version.
I ran following test:
After sequencing Dashboards + required applications = works
After sequecing Dashboards + required applications + Patch 6 = fails
It seems that installing Patch 6 brakes something from App-V package.

Does the application execute if you install and run it on that same platform, without running the Sequencer?

Hello Aaron,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, Dashboard runs just fine on W7/W2008R2 if locally installed. Problems arise after application has been sequenced.

Hello,
googled for xcelsius and the exception code and found this;http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=85487
Could be that you have a mismatch between the sequencer and the operating system you are deploying to... or perhaps any other DLL file is not matching up?

Hello znack,
I also tried to make sequencing on W2008R2 and deployed it to W2008R2, same result :(
Tried to register that msxml4.dll too.
Thank you.

App requires MS Excel (2003, 2007 or 2010) to be installed. I installed MS Office 2010 locally on W2008R2 machine I deployed the package.
I try to install older MS Office inside App-V package, see if it make any difference.
Edit: Tried. No difference :(- Edited by weedee Tuesday, December 4, 2012 10:58 AM
