Known Issues with App-V 5.0 SP2

App-V client folder redirection sometimes fails to move files from %AppData% to %LocalAppData%

When %AppData% is a shared network folder that you have configured for folder redirection, the changes that end users make to AppData (Roaming) can be lost when they switch computers or when their local AppData is cleared when they sign out and then log back on. This error occurs because the registry key (AppDataTime), which indicates the last known upload, gets out of synchronization with the local cached AppData.

WORKAROUND: Manually delete the following registry key for each relevant package when an end user logs on or off:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages\<PACKAGE_GUID>\AppDataTime

The first time that end users start an application in the package after they sign in, App-V forces a download of the zipped %AppData%, even if %LocalAppData% is already up to date.
