SCCM 2007 R2/R3: Error when Streaming App-V Virtual Application from Distribution Point: 4xxxxxx-xxxxxx0a-00003004

On an App-V Client managed by Configuration Manager (SCCM), you may receive the following error when trying to launch a virtual application configured to stream from a distribution point.

The Application Virtualization Client does not support the authentication scheme requested by the server. Report the following error code to your System Administrator.

Error code: 4604EE8-24601B0A-00003004

You may get this error whether or not the application is 100 percent cached or not. In addition you will see one or more of the following errors in the SFTLOG.TXT:

[09/20/2010 11:14:57:287 AMGR WRN] {tid=58C}

The Application Virtualization Client could not launch ApplicationName

The Application Virtualization Client does not support the authentication scheme requested by the server. Report the following error code to your System Administrator.

Error code: 4604EE8-24601B0A-00003004

The cause of this is the Client is trying to authorize the application upon launching in the same manner as it “checks for updates” in a traditional App-V server-based environment. This is due to the RequiereAuthorizationifCached client value being still set to 1.

To resolve this issue, make the following registry change and restart the App-V Client service:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\Configuration
 
RequireAuthorizationifCached = 0
