    Has anyone tried to sequence Visual Studio Code, which was just released last week?  It seems like a pretty simple app, however, it install to the user's AppdataLocal location.  I'm getting an error from the sequencer when it tries to save the package.

    Success!

    Command line used:  VSCodeSetup-1.7.2.exe /SILENT /DIR="C:\VSCode" /mergetasks=!runcode

    Sequenced on: 64bit Windows 7

    Tested on: Windows 7 (persistent), Windows Server 2008 (non-persistent)

    Notes:

    • All Advanced Options checked in Sequencer
    • No need to modify any exclusions in Sequencer
    • Pre-created C:\VSCode directory prior to sequencing (not sure if this was required or not)
    • Did not launch VSCode during or after sequencing (the /mergetasks=!runcode stops it from auto launch)

    What error are you getting? I assume you have configured your exclusions to allow you to capture the required directories?

    Is it possible to set an other installdir? Did you use SP2 or SP3? Did you install to PVAD or not?
    But most important, what's the error you are getting.

    OK so I downloaded VSCodeSetup.exe, removed appdatalocal from the exclusion list and created a default package (with dummy pvad). Setup also starts code.exe, so I closed it, next, next, did not start it for configuration, did not create a featureblock, and was able so save the package.... so what's you error?
    Using SP2hotfix4.

    Hmzz, he's properbly having an issue with your useraccount (svc.domain.changebase). Try to resequence on a machine which is not domain joined, and/or with a local account.

    Hello,

    Spinup another VM, not built like the one you had and retry the process. Remove anything that could potentially lock any files

    If the primary EXE is in an excluded location - that could be problematic. What if you remove all LocalSettings and %LocalAppData% exclusions and then enable VFSWriteMode?

    I am getting the same error.  I'll be messing around with it today though to see what I can come up with.

    The issue is the \..\

    Once you remove the existence of \..\ from the following places in the package, you can actually create it:

    Open up the properties of the shortcut

    • Start in - remove "\..\Code"
    • Click Change Icon, then browse to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Code\app.ico and select that as the Icon

    Additionally, GLADIATORS suggestion of removing the LocalSettings and %LocalAppData% exclusions were necessary.

    Update:  The application errors when you first launch it, but the second launch works.

    Cody,

    I'm getting the following error when launching the application.  I did everything that you listed above.

    If you click Ok and then launch it again, does it open from that point forward?  If so, we need to figure out what we are missing.  A procmon should tell us.

    Cody,

    In a standalone client, non domain joined.   I get the same results that you got where the above error showed up on 1st launch but it worked on second launch.  But in my production environment it continues to fail with that error. In production, these are non-persistent VDI and we are using shared content store.

    I am seeing the same results in my non-persistent VDI environment.  Now I just need to free up some time to spend on figuring out whats up.  Let me know if you are able to capture what happens during the error.

    Hey Cody,

    Did you have a chance to take another look at this?

    I messed with it for a while more with no success yet.  I'll try to free up some time to dedicate to this for you.

    I am going to try to sequence this again with the latest stable release (currently 1.7.2).  I'll let you know what I find.
