Packaging error when using App-V 5.0 to sequence applications with RELS files

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

If an application contains an OPC "relationship part" (.rels) file, the Microsoft App-V 5.0 sequencer fails to package the application. When the failure occurs you receive the following error message:

An error was encountered while trying to finalize the package. Please check the event log for more details.

You can identify a relationship part by the presence of a file with a ".rels" file extension in a folder named "_rels". For more information, refer to the Open Package Conventions (OPC) specification.
