PkgView 1.6 Released
Today I released an updated version of the free PkgView tool. PkgView is used to view the file and registry changes that a user makes when running virtual applications with Microsoft App-V. These changes are stored in files with a “.pkg” extension associated with the user and the application.

Today I “launched” a new free tool to provide some organized help with App-V Client errors. This tool, called A Failure To Launch, is a Silverlight app that allows you to search for information on an error code produced by the App-V Client.
For each of the codes covered, the tool provides information about the cause (or possible causes), …
