The Application Virtualization Client could not complete the operation. A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Issue:-

In my environment I sequence the application on App-V 4.6 SP1 and then deploy the application msi on Citrix XenApp Servers.

I sequenced the application successfully but when I was installing the same on Citrix XenApp Servers it gave the below error message.

 “The Application Virtualization Client could not complete the operation.

A device attached to the system is not functioning. “

Then I checked the Event Viewer on the XenApp Server which gave below details:-

After reviewing the logs and status message it was not clear that what could be causing this issue.

Resolution:-

Since there was no clue for any troubleshooting. So I went ahead and again install the sequenced application msi on the XenApp server and guess what it worked without issues. Still can’t understand the reason behind this behavior but happy to get it worked for me.
