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 …
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. …
If you have sequenced on App-V 5, you probably have wondered what to use for the “Primary Virtual Directory” (PVAD).

4.6SP2 is pretty much a rollup of hotfixes (almost all of them since 4.6SP1 came out), plus support for Windows 8, Server 2012, and additional client changes for transitional dual client scenarios with App-V 5. As always, you should check the Readme documentation for details, but in the time honored tradition …
Thought I would pass this on.
Microsoft is aware of it already and confirmed it is an issue. Although it, at first glace, appears that adding a File Type Association while in the sequence editor causes the sequencer to crash, I can confirm that on other apps I can add new file associations just fine.

I have been having a problem with some of my sequences with the new App-V 5.0 Beta1 release; sometimes the client doesn’t get changes I make to the shortcut/FTA settings in the sequence editor.
I mentioned this to Patrick before I headed off to speak at the Citrix Synergy “Geek Speak Live” in San Francisco last week. He was supposed …
