I found this in the App-V 4.6 SP1 release notes (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg507623.aspx), which describes my problem exactly. I even get the same error
code:
-----
After expanding the parent package, you cannot sequence a plug-in with side by side components
When you expand a parent package by using Tools / Expand Package to Local System in the App-V Sequencer console and you sequence a plug-in with side
by side components, an installation error is returned. For example:
This is caused when the sequencer writes the side-by-side component to the registry but does not clear the value for the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\StoreDirty
WORKAROUND After expanding the parent package on the computer that is running the sequencer, you have to delete the value for the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\StoreDirty
After you have deleted the value, sequence the plug-in.

Unfortunately I can't find this registry value. There is no COMPONENTS key under HKLM. I ran regedit under an elevated command prompt.
In my searching I keep finding references to this being offered as a solution and the key not existing...most in reference to Windows update. Does anyone know where the COMPONENTS key really is, or how to display it in regedit?
