I told them that their CTX article didn't make mention to that but they said the internal team confirmed that browsers cannot go in App Layers if you're planning to use User Layers. I had a ticket in with Citrix and if you use User Layers, you cannot App Layer browsers whatsoever. I'm almost thinking that removing Edge/Chrome entirely from an App Layer and just installing it in the UPL is the best route to go. The broken state also doesn't come back after a reboot, its only when I do the next update. I've also tried running the repair json and its the same behavior.

However, I now do a quarterly update and my only frustration is that the first time someone opens Edge after the update, it is in a broken state until the user closes Edge and re-opens it. This fixed all of our side-by-side issues. I then ran the repair json on all users after the Edge layer was created. We ran into the exact same issues as well, which is why it prompted us to separate it out as I described earlier. Out of additional curiosity, is there any way to tell app layering to NOT capture a certain folder when finalizing it? I'll leave the Chrome layer untouched and let it be used as my AL for Chrome and Edge. In one disk I published, I had 5 versions (83,x85,87,88, and 89) of Edge in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\.Īt this point, the only recourse I can come up with is to remove it from the OS layer, and all subsequent layers that were created with the problematic OS Layer as a base. Let this cycle for a few months and eventually you end up with lots of app layers with different versions of edge in there and Side by Side issues start to crop up. Publish an image to PVS and now you've got Edge versions 83 and 85 in there. As part of this, Edge Chromium v85 is pushed into the OS layer v2

Next month rolls around and you patch OS Layer version 1 to latest updates with OS Layer version 2. Install Edge Chromium v83 in OS layer version 1.Īdd Adobe Reader version with OS layer version 1. We've had Edge Chromium in the OS layer for while now and it appears as if that's actually a pretty messy play. Would like to separate mine out at this point. As Joshua mentioned, we've begun to run into side by side errors.
