This week, Microsoft finally announced their plans for App-V. They will move App-V into the core of the operating system. Microsoft’s Steve Thomas, speaking in a webinar with Flexera, made the announcement (near the end of the webinar). This is HUUUUUUUUUGE!
This work has been ongoing for some time, and I had the opportunity to meet with the …
This has to rank among the top posts that I never thought I would write in my entire life. I mean, it is right up there with “Why I’ll never play golf again”. If we had subtitles, the subtitle of this article would be “The 5.1 Converter Doesn’t Suck“. High praise indeed!

With the App-V MVPs busy at the MVP Summit this week, I’ll offer up this rather long post about elevation, starting with some fairly well known basics and advancing into the absurd detail.

Microsoft is making the file available for export/import within the sequencer. The syntax of this xml file is undocumented, and editing the xml can be very tricky, so a tool is …
I’m not sure why I never thought of this before. All of the pieces were right there in front of me for a while, but it didn’t click until today.
Today I created my first Virtual Device Driver with App-V!!!!
