How to turn on hidden Primary virtual application directory (PVAD) in APP-V SP3

As we all are aware that the primary virtual application directory (PVAD) is hidden in App-V 5.0 SP3, but there is an option to turn it back on and make it visible during the sequencing phase.

Option 1: open the sequencer.exe with the parameter –EnablePVADControl in command prompt.
                           
Option 2: In the Registry Editor, go to:                     HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Sequencer\Compatibility    

If the Compatability subkey doesn’t exist, we must create it.Then Create a DWORD Value named EnablePVADControl, and set the value to 1. A value  0 means that PVAD is hidden.
