I created a VBscript to install all the dependencies for App-V 5 Client and this works fine. I am now testing doing it via the Application with Dependencies, but I find two specific problems - I was following the Deployment guys article http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgr_geek_speak/archive/2013/04/23/getting-started-with-app-v-5-0-using-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
1. Created two dependencies for Powershell 3.0 and Net Framework 4. I find that even with Net Framework set as the first dependency appenforce.log shows it always trying to install Powershell 2506143 first which duly fails because it won't install without Framework present. I changed the Powershell application itself to have Net Framework as a dependency and that fixes the problem but I don't understand why the dependency order is not honoured i.e. Framework first and Powershell second
2. Powershell exits 3010 reboot required and appv_client_setup.exe fails because it considers Powershell to not be present. Do a manual reboot and it installs fine
So how can you get it all to run in one application. The vbscript I created previously calls all the dependencies in turn (including the C++) and also runs the app-v msi file (x86 or x64) and that is ok
