After upgrading from App-V 5.0 Sp2 or App-V SP3 to App-V 5.1 , Internet explorer starts crashing for no reason.
The Application event log shows two possible errors:
1.Faulting module : EMET.DLL
2.Faulting module : NTDLL.DLL
This is a known bug with App-V 5.1. Some possible workaround is to either revert back to 5.0 or follow the below steps.
Solution:
Remove the following lines in the registry and IE 10 / IE 11 will stop crashing.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / AppV / Client /Virtualization
ProcessesUSingVirtualComponents
Data:
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
You can also try removing the App-V 5.0 earlier versions manually and then install App-V 5.1 instead of upgrading to avoid this issue.
Though the above said step is just a workaround, it is not a recommended way to bypass this issue. We need to wait for Microsoft to come up with possible fix or service pack soon.
