A few hickups while playing around with Articulate Storyline and App-V 5. Unfortunately all this knowledge about howto sequence Storyline is based on a trial edition, however I don’t see a problem to make this work with a licensed edition.

Let’s get started!

Prerequisites

Setup your packaging VM. See my previous article about the topic to see our starting point.

You can get the trial-version from Articulate, and in addition to the installer you will also need Adobe Flash Player (ActiveX)

Sequence

Fire up the App-V Sequencer. During my installation the PVAD was the installation directory of the software. Adobe Flash Player (ActiveX) was actually installed after Storyline was installed, but before the initial launch. Since an initial launch was performed it will expire the trial once you deploy it to a client and force the user to activate.

Deploy

Deploy it to a client that matches your packaging VM in terms of architecture and prerequisites installed. Then you are done!
