Understanding SFT Issues


Common Problems Opening SFT Files

Application Virtualization Sequencer Not Present

When you double-click your SFT file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Application Virtualization Sequencer isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you don't have Application Virtualization Sequencer installed, and you know of another program to open your SFT file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Outdated Application Virtualization Sequencer

Your Microsoft App-V Sequencer File file is incompatible with Application Virtualization Sequencer because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Application Virtualization Sequencer if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Microsoft App-V Sequencer File file was created by a different (newer) version of Application Virtualization Sequencer than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SFT file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the SFT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Application Virtualization Sequencer installed.


Other SFT File Opening Causes

Although you might already have Application Virtualization Sequencer or another SFT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft App-V Sequencer File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading SFT files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Invalid SFT file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SFT description
  • Invalid installation of a SFT-associated program (eg. Application Virtualization Sequencer)
  • Your SFT can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your SFT has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with SFT has outdated drivers
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Microsoft App-V Sequencer File file
