A co-worker and I ran into this installation error while sequencing Project 2010 with Microsoft App-V today:

Microsoft Project 2010 error

Error 1920. Service  Office Software Protection Platform (osppsvc) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

The prerequisite to check is the Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment Kit for App-V. Install its binaries when preparing to sequence Office 2010, Visio 2010 or Project 2010.

Project 2010 uses the Office Software Protection Platform (SPP) service, which is included in the kit. It uses the same activation technology as volume editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. Install and configure it on the sequencing server before sequencing Project 2010. It must also be installed on the client computers that will stream Project 2010.
