**UPDATE – This has been tested against device targeted installs and this also fails with the same error **
A TechNet forum thread was recently raised by Jesse Harris on the issue of applications not publishing within ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Sp1 when targeted at user collections. Jesse did some testing and discovered that hotfix 4 was the issue.
Off I went into my lab and confirmed this problem. The error reads:
Publish-AppvClientPackage : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter
name ‘UserSID’.

I did further testing and discovered that HF5 works fine and the problem does not manifest with this release.
I hope to do some more testing today to discover if computer targeted collections are also effected and to see if earlier hotfix versions were impacted.
In the meantime I have raised this at Connect so Microsoft has some visibility of the problem.
**UPDATE – This has been tested against device targeted installs and this also fails with the same error **
Here’s a breakdown of the testing:
App-V 5.0 SP2 – Tested ok
App-V 5.0 SP2 HF1 – Not tested
App-V 5.0 SP2 HF2 – Tested ok
App-V 5.0 SP2 HF4 – Fails to publish
App-V 5.0 SP2 HF5 – Tested ok
App-V 5.0 SP3 – Tested ok
App-V 5.0 SP3 HF1 – Tested ok

I am getting this issue with App-V 5.0 SP3 and App-v 5.1 clients. I currently do not have a fix
That’s interesting. Have you contacted MS about this?
Not as yet….I often find ‘googling’ for a fix is quicker than the MS route!
I have a similar issue, I am on SCCM 2012 R2 – 5.0.7958.1501.
I have few Applications deployed to a user Collection. However it is not Displaying in Application Catalog.
If i target it to device collection i can see it in Software Center. But with user collection I cannot see it in Application Catalog.
Application is distributed to all DP’s (100%).
Older applications which were created and deployed couple of months ago can be seen in Application Catalog, even if a new user is added to the collection it can be seen in App Catalog (Strange !!).
But with new application deployment it cannot be seen in Application Catalog.
All the settings are correct. I have Run Synchronization for Application Catalog Tables as well. Still not luck.
I have Appv 5.0 SP2 HF 5 on my test machine. Still no luck.
Please Advice.
