Previous versions of the App-V Sequencer have required you to manually sequence your app packages. This was time-consuming and required extensive interaction, causing many companies to deploy brand-new packages rather than update an existing one. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces an updated App-V Sequencer that automatically sequences your app packages, improving your overall experience by streamlining the provisioning of the prerequisite environment, automating app installation, and expediting the package updating setup.

If your apps require custom prerequesites, such as Microsoft SQL Server, we recommend that you preinstall the prerequisites on your VM and then use that VM for auto-sequencing. Using these steps will establish a connection to your existing VM, install the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Auto Sequencer from the ADK tools, and provision your VM for auto-sequencing.
