App Attach only working if the App is Installed Locally First
I am trying to use App Attach to provide an application to my virtual desktop environment. The environment is currently 100% Entra ID, no DS if possible. RemoteApp host pool with Standard_D4as_v6 VMs...
This has finally been recognized by Microsoft.
Tracking ID: 5KN6-9_G
Service Issue: Azure Virtual Desktop errors with CIMFS files on Windows 11, version 24H2
I did some testing with multiple versions of my app to see how it behaved, and these were my findings.
- I installed app version 1 on my VM and loaded it into app attach. Remote App launches as expected.
- I installed app version 2 on my VM (did not put into app attach). Remote App will not launch.
- I uninstalled app version 2 from my machine so just version 1 remained. Remote App launches as expected.
- I added app version 2 to app attach alongside version 1 (both set to active). Remote App does not launch.
- I removed app version 2 from app attach. Remote App still does not launch.
- It seems I broke the environment here, these packages didn't seem to detach properly.
- I manually removed the apps/mounted drives from the machine and reinstalled app version 1. Remote App launches as expected.
And when I say "does not launch" I'm referring to the frozen login that I described in my original question.
Not sure if that's helpful or not. It was at least interesting to see that the Remote App didn't launch when app attach had version 1, and the machine had version 2 installed.
