To create the .sft file by using the command line, enter the following at a command prompt: **mkdiffpkg.exe <base SFT file name> <diff SFT file name>** ## File Name in OSD File Is Not Correct After Package Upgrade When you open a package for upgrade, you should specify the root Q:\\ drive as the output location for the package. Do not specify an associated file name with the output location. ## Microsoft Word 2003 Default Install Results in an Error When Streamed to a Client When you stream Microsoft Word 2003 to a client, an error is returned, but Microsoft Word continues to run. **Solution** Resequence the virtual application package and select **Full Install**. ## Active Upgrade Does Not Work When You Create a Dependent Package When you create a dependent package by using active upgrade and add new registry entries, it appears to function correctly, but the updated registry entries are not available. **Solution** Registry settings are always stored with the original version of the package, so updates to the package will not appear to be available unless you repair the original package. ## Detailed information is not visible for Microsoft Office 2007 documents by using the properties page When you try to view detailed information associated with a Microsoft Office 2007 document by using the properties page, the detailed information is not visible. **Solution** App-V does not support the required shell extensions for these property pages. ## Some registry keys are not captured when you sequence 16-bit applications In App-V 4.5, registry hooking has been moved from kernel mode to user mode. If you want to sequence a 16-bit application or an application that uses a 16-bit installer, you must first configure the sequencer computer so that the process runs in its own copy of the Windows NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM). **Solution** Before you sequence the application, set the following global REGSZ registry key value to "yes" on the sequencing computer: HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\WOW\\DefaultSeparateVDM You must restart the computer before this takes effect. ## Related topics [Application Virtualization Sequencer](application-virtualization-sequencer.md)
