Description

No local app access or URL redirection has been set up on the site.

A published application that uses a browser for launching is being accessed through a server Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA).

Resolution

Create an XML file with the specified content, use the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DefaultAssociations>
    <Association Identifier=".htm" ProgId="ChromeHTML" ApplicationName="Google Chrome" />
    <Association Identifier=".html" ProgId="ChromeHTML" ApplicationName="Google Chrome" />
    <Association Identifier="http" ProgId="ChromeHTML" ApplicationName="Google Chrome" />
    <Association Identifier="https" ProgId="ChromeHTML" ApplicationName="Google Chrome" />
</DefaultAssociations>

Next, apply this configuration file using the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc):
Navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer.
Locate and enable the Set a default associations configuration file policy setting.
Specify the path to your XML file.
Update the local group policy and verify that it has been applied correctly.


Problem Cause

Default file type associations for extensions such as .htm, .html, .http, and .https may be altered, missing, or lost due to an upgrade or improperly configured Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
