Video of this issue:
The issue is when sequencing an application (100% reproducable on Epic and the VMWare Hypervisor) and then you add a large ‘update’ (for Epic this is the client pack) then not all registry keys are captured. At 8:20 seconds you can see keys that are present in the local registry are not present in the package.
Notice the “0”, “win32” and FLAGS keys are missing in the AppV package.
This is the script I used to compare the local registry vs the package:

What happens when you use the Custom Installation option instead of the Select installer to install option right before monitoring?
Same result. Not all registry keys are captured.
Same thing happens if you go through and manually install everything with the mouse. “Next Next Next” wait “Next Next Finish” etc. 🙁
