AppV 5.1 Sequencer - Not capturing all registry keys

Video of this issue:

https://theorypc-my.sharepoint.com/personal/trententtye_theorypc_onmicrosoft_com/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?guestaccesstoken=vq4pmhseZam8zGPBh6Q8bn%2bgvaZrVuFc4fXo%2fziYmeA%3d&docid=08e53da35fa314929a7ce6578c69bf5c5

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:

pushd
#mkdir "$env:userprofile\desktop\Epic_Hyperspace_2014_8.1_RA1504_CP12_x86"
New-AppvSequencerPackage -Name "Epic_Hyperspace_2014_8.1_RA1504_CP12_x86" -OutputPath "$env:userprofile\desktop" -FullLoad -Installer "AppV-2014_Hyperspace_Install.bat" 

#Extract registry hive
cd "$env:userprofile\desktop"
Add-Type -A 'System.IO.Compression.FileSystem'
[IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory(''+$env:userprofile+'\desktop\Epic_Hyperspace_2014_8.1_RA1504_CP12_x86\Epic_Hyperspace_2014_8.1_RA1504_CP12_x86.appv', ''+$env:userprofile+'\Desktop\package')
