“The Client Book” about App-V is now available!!!!!
Hi Tim, first of all thanks for writing this book. I already published a review at Lulu’s website about the book.
“…Great book (the 1st real App-V book). Especially chapter 8 is for the experienced sequencers. You even find info about WMI, rolling your own HTTP publishing server and Very much information which is either hard – or even nowhere to find on the internet. Only thing I would have done when I had wrote this book: I had not included the pages about installing the App-V client using SCCM -especially with so much screenshots (about 60 pages in this book), I would rather see a link to a website where you can download the instruction and instead read 60 pages about troubleshooting. I know many problems have to do with the deployment/streaming but on the other hand it leaves space for others to write a book about such things. Maybe I will write one in the near furute. In short: this book is a great reference for any sequencer (experienced and beginners). Tim and Kevin thanks for this book. ”
Many things in the book that I hadn’t expected at first, but what I did miss (I personally already knew about it) is a bit more about x64 and x86 client/sequencer. Packages you make with the x64 sequencer can not be used on the a x32 client as you know. A picture like the one in the blogpost from Kevin would have made it a lot clearer to many I think:

Hi Tim, will the book be available in eBook or PDF format in the future?
No. Unforunately Lulu does not have an e-book option.
