When installing Windows 10 ADK 1607, the App-V Sequencer component may be missing. This depending on the Operating System you're installing Windows ADK on. When you need to install the App-V Sequencer from Windows 10 ADK 1607, make sure you install it on Windows 10 1607 as well. Otherwise use the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) Setup Media instead.
When running on Windows 10 1511/1507, Windows 8.x, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012 R2, App-V Sequencer is missing.
When running on Windows 1607, App-V Sequencer will be back again :-) Other components are available then as well.
Hope it helps!
More on App-V in Windows 10 can be found here: Both App-V and UE-V integrated in Windows 10 Enterprise now!
Within Windows 10 version 1607, both App-V and UE-V are part of the Operating System as Windows features. This instead of inclusion in MDOP, which required a separate download and installation.
With Windows 10, version 1607 and later releases, Application Virtualization (App-V) is included with Windows 10 for Enterprise and Windows 10 for Education and is no longer part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack anymore.
The changes in App-V for Windows 10, version 1607 impact already existing implementations of App-V in the following ways:
-The App-V client is installed on user devices automatically with Windows 10, version 1607, and no longer has to be deployed separately. Performing an in-place upgrade to Windows 10, version 1607, on user devices automatically installs the App-V client.
-The App-V application sequencer is available from the Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). In previous releases of App-V, the application sequencer was included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. Although you’ll need to use the new application sequencer to create new virtualized applications, existing virtualized applications will continue to work.
App-V supports System Center 2016 and 2012 R2. See Planning for App-V Integration with Configuration Manager for information about integrating your App-V environment with ConfigMgr.

What’s new for IT pros in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update
It was known already that both System Center 2016 and Windows Server 2016 were released in Q3 this year. On several blogposts now it's mentioned that both solutions will be launched at the Microsoft Ignite conference in late September. Let's have a look at some highlights of both solutions:
System Center 2016 aims to ease the deployment, configuration, management and monitoring of your virtualized, software-defined datacenter and hybrid cloud infrastructure built on Windows Server 2016. A key goal of System Center 2016 is to improve the performance and the usability of System Center components to enhance your operational experience.
Highlights of System Center 2016 include:
-Support for new Windows Server 2016 technologies, including lifecycle management for Nano server-based hosts and virtual machines, Storage Spaces Direct, and shielded virtual machines;
-Performance and usability improvements, including all the update rollups since System Center 2012 R2, improved UNIX and Linux monitoring, and ability to tune management packs and alerts;
-Native integrations with Microsoft Operations Management Suite to give you expanded analytics, data correlation, orchestration, archival, and hybrid management capabilities.
Windows Server 2016 is the cloud-ready operating system that delivers new layers of security and Azure-inspired innovation for the applications and infrastructure that power your business.
Highlights of Windows Server 2016 include:
-Increase security and reduce business risk with multiple layers of protection built into the operating system.
-Evolve your datacenter to save money and gain flexibility with software-defined datacenter technologies inspired by Microsoft Azure.
