I have written a new “white paper” on App-V 5. This one looks at package “pellucidity” (the layering effect caused by the settings “override local” or “merge with local”), and package deletion objects and how these are implemented at the client when you use Connection Groups.
As it was in 4.6 with DSC, all is not as simple as you …
One of the big benefits of App-V has always been that applications that needed certain kinds of remediation to work today were automatically dealt with.
I’m talking about apps that were developed without complete support for multiple users (or multiple tenants), or for apps that assumed systems that have no security protection to write to common locations.

Earlier this year I placed a survey on the TMurgent home page for folks to provide some simple input about their App-V usage. This post provides a review of the results of the highly un-scientific survey. I didn’t advertise the survey nor did we have an email campaign.

For natively installed applications, somewhere along the way Microsoft added a new interface for developers (or more specifically …

OK. So XenDesktop 7, the new combined version of XenDesktop and XenApp is now released.
And we can see that Citrix has not integrated their own application virtualization solutions (Citrix Streaming) into the Citrix Studio console. Instead, they have chosen to with integrate Microsoft App-V 5. |
And not just into the Management console, but also in the new AppDNA, which …
Scripting is completely different in App-V 5 versus 4.*. Back in December, I wrote this post describing App-V 5 Scripting support to supplement and hopefully clarify the limited information provided by Microsoft. It will take more time than I have for a couple weeks to be able to write down what I learned this week into a comprehensible document, but …
