This is normal and you do not experience this error message in prod. :: Also note that you may get a 'ActiveX components creation failed' or such error message if you launch RE_SAMPLE_7 :: "Visual Basic for Applications Version 2627.01\vba6.msi" This causes 'ActiveX components creation failed' along with :: locally installed VBA with Office 2010 on the vDisk. :: Need Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) installed *BEFORE* sequencing or else it will conflict with :: PackageName: Blackbaud_RaisersEdge_x86 However, executing a regsvr32 /s “C:\Program Files (x86)\Blackbaud\The Raisers Edge 7\DLL\bbcor7.dll” during sequencing does do all the necessary work to register and allow RE7.exe to find and load the file in an AppV bubble. I don’t see the file get searched for at all with the AppV install and tracing with procmon. It appears, somehow, this file is getting loaded and registered dynamically on a local install, but this is not happening with the AppV install. The local install, which works without issue, has an extra file that gets loaded. The launches were identical, until the highlighted points. The differences I found between a local install of this application and the AppV launch looked like so: Again, process monitor makes this easy by using the “loaded modules” option. So the next step is to install the application locally and compare the launch differences between the local install and the AppV install.

But the error message very clearly states that a file is missing. In other words, all files were accounted for. Unfortunately, my searching for this message did NOT result in finding a file that wasn’t resolved by another path. With most AppV packages we can suss out the file it’s missing by using procmon and tracing for “FILE NOT FOUND” in the result field. So RE7.exe is not finding a file it’s looking for. The most obvious message is the “8007007e” which is a standard windows error hex code which translates to: This error is giving us a few clues as to what might be happening. We are in the process of upgrading Blackbaud’s Raiser’s Edge to 7.96 and we encountered an error:
