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

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.

A device attached to the system is not functioning. “

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