FSLogix Profile Container and UAC File virtualization not working "%localappdata%\virtualstore"?

Hi.

Rolling out FSLogix in my customers environment and ran into an issue with some legacy programs.

It looks like UAC Virtualization does not create the "%localappdata%\virtualstore" for applications that try to create files under %programFiles%\programX directory.

Using procMon on the process with fslogix profile container ON, the application tries to create some files in the program directory and gets "Access denied".

If we disable the profile container and monitor the same process it tries to create the same files to program directory and receives a "REPARSE" and then it gets redirected to the users
%localappdata%\VirtualStore\programX\etc...."

I see this is reported by another user previously: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/fe7744d6-3fc3-484c-abba-c34ac453dcf7/uac-file-virtualization-quotlocalappdatavirtualstorequot-no-longer-working-with-fslogix?forum=FSLogix.

Is this a known bug with a fix or in your pipeline to resolve`?

Best regards
JM
