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 …

PowerShell with App-V 5
PowerShell with App-V 5
… With the release of Application Virtualization version 5.0, Microsoft changed out all of the old scripting and programming interfaces and replaced them with brand new PowerShell interface modules. In this book, the authors dig well below the limited online help that comes with the product to fully expose not only the PowerShell cmdlets, but also the
Video: Tim and 5 other App-V MVPs interviewed by TechTarget’s Colin Steele.
In October, we had a group of 6 App-V MVPs together in Boston to meet with the App-V development team. We had an opportunity to shoot an interview at that time with TechTarget’s Colin Steele. We were handcuffed in that we couldn’t disclose information we knew about (under NDA) the final App-V release, but we were free to talk about …
Why our new App-V 5 Class won’t be called “Masters Level”
As we are getting ready to launch our final App-V 4.6* “Masters Level” training class next week, I am being hit up by people wanting to know about a 5.0 class.

Why I am Documenting the App-V 5 Schemas

So it has been sort of disappointing to find a similar lack of documentation for …
Crashing the App-V 5 Sequencer, Part I of ???
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.
OS: Windows 7 SP1 x86…
Recording of Tim on BrianMadden Live show
I had the honor of being the featured guest on the “BrianMadden Live” podcast earlier this week. The recording can be found at this link: here.
I also posted a couple of articles on Brian’s site the last month that are worth mentioning. One of them is my “What you need to know about App-V 5” article which has …
App-V 5.0: Evolving the “Integrated Experience” for Virtual Applications
I ran the effort to build the original version of App-V at Softricity, the company that Microsoft acquired the product from, almost a dozen years ago, and the 5.0 Beta release represents the most dramatic set of changes to the product since. Much has changed in computer technology of that period, and Microsoft very clearly has looked at what is …
