MS Hive ODBC Driver - AppV - Windows 11 21H2

Hi everyone,

 

I need to prepare an AppV package with the mentioned app. It will be published to Windows 11 machines.
In general, sequencing ODBCs is not a problem. It should be working fine. And it is on Windows 10. It is not, however, on Windows 11.


What I did:

  • Got the latest MS ADK (ver. 10.1.25398.1) and installed Sequencer;
  • Created dummy ODBC entries (User and System, x86 and x64);
  • Sequenced the HIVEODBCDRIVER on W11 21H2


Then, I published the package on W10 and

Launched the ODBC shortcut

 

  • No problem at non-admin account (MS Hive ODBC Driver showed up in ODBC console)

I published the package on W11 and launched the same shortcut:

  • The driver didn’t appear in ODBC console.


It’s all fine however, as that package is to work in a connection group with other Appv package.

 

So, I created XML for a Connection Group which contains the ODB Driver Appv Package and a N++ AppV package I created quickly for testing purposes.

 

On W10:

  • I published those two packages;
  • Added the Connection Group;
  • Enabled it;
  • Launched N++ (CG was then active);
  • In N++ hit Ctrl+O and typed in ‘cmd.exe’;
  • Then I had cmd launched from N++ and running inside the Connection Group bubble;
  • I navigated to C:\Windows\System32 and started odbcad32.exe;
  • The desired driver was nicely accessible.


Then, I followed the same steps on W11:

  • The driver was not visible in odbcad32.exe started from N++ inside the same Connection Group.

Maybe you guys can point me what I'm doing incorrectly??
