    Hello everyone,

    I have an unusual issue trying to sequence Algodoo which is a piece of free physics software we are trying to use in school. I can sequence it but when I try adding it to the App-V Management Server so it can be deployed, I am receiving an error message:

    "The package Algo Physics was not added.
    An unexpected error occurred while calling AppX Com API. Error: 0x80080205 - The Appx package's block map is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080205)."

    I have sequence a completely different application using the same sequencing VM (restored to a clean state) and these packages add successfully. So I can only think that it is something within the software (file path, filename that's a reserved word??).

    The Sequencer version is: App-V 5.1 March 2017 Service running on Windows 7 SP1 x86 (I have also tried my x64 sequencer VM with identical version of the sequencer to no avail)

    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks! :)

    I downloaded the package and sequenced it. I face the same issue as soon as I try to add the package on my system. After digging through the FilesystemMetadata.xml I found some duplicate files, which where installed by the installer, have a look:

    This results in 2 block references for each file in the AppxBlockMap.xml ->

    <File LfhSize="95" Size="116093" Name="Root\VFS\ProgramFilesX86\Algodoo\data\language\Français.cfg">
<Block Size="23982" Hash="kGYskVwsnBVS8feOfdH29BDCBNqq8nK+lGJKqZbDq+0="/>
<Block Size="18574" Hash="z/cLaevJkDnaE2B7Bjf09/dAWQb4P2my3QZx21qWmFI="/>
</File>

<File LfhSize="95" Size="203" Name="Root\VFS\ProgramFilesX86\Algodoo\data\language\Français.png">
<Block Size="177" Hash="4cxnP58+XDMhLWwX4bHTOai3ohoiVc0ptVaym2imK4o="/>

    Apparently the sequencer does not detect this issue.
    To solve the issue, I simply removed the duplicate files (Español.cfg, Español.png, Français.cfg and Français.png)

    I've hit this same issue sequencing SQL Management Studio 17.5 (not tried the latest 17.8.x). App works fine on the client standalone, but cannot be imported into the server. I could not find a duplicate file in my blockmap though, however I did come up with a useful dupe detector script in case anyone else needs to chase this bug down:

    [XML] $AppxBlockMap = Get-Content "$PSScriptRoot\AppxBlockMap.xml"
    $AppxBlockMap.BlockMap.File.Name | Group | Where {$_.Count -gt 1} | Select Name

    Hey App-V Folks, 

    If you have more Applications which show that Error when importing into the Server - I need to know which applications these are. 

    Please reply here or drop me a Mail. 

    Thanks
