App_Remediation: New Tool for App-V 5 apps in Roaming Environs
App_Remediation is a new free tool I am releasing to the public today.
App_Remediation is a console application designed to be used with App-V 5 (and above) to save and restore application related data (ARD) between locations that normally do not roam and those that do.
App-V now isolates ARD changes and redirects the saved file changes to locations that …
The return of the Duplicate Package ID in App-V 5
It haunts me still! In every release of App-V since 4.0 there has been a new and unique way to generate apps with duplicate GUIDS. I have blogged about this both here and here. Granted, each time it was a case of wanting to be efficient with MY time and it was solved by careful setup of my snapshots. …

…New Video: App-V 4 Versus 5

About App-V 5 and Installers that delete things
One aspect of App-V that we rarely discuss is then when you are sequencing, the sequencer not only detects added folders, files, registry keys, and registry items, but it also pays attention to things that the installer removes. By this I am not referring to a temporary file added and then removed, but something that was present prior to …
