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 might think. The paper makes a nice reference with charts showing you what happens in each of the possible combinations. Fortunately, most of the time the client is doing the reasonable thing. But when you hit those other cases you need a reference like this to figure out what is going on. It’s full of charts like this…
…as well as explanations. You might think the virtual file system and virtual registry would behave the same way, but you’d be wrong!
