  • Blog Post: Sequencing a Shortcut in App-V 4.6 – Local and Virtual Interaction

    Sequencing a shortcut is a commonly used method in App-V 4.x to get virtual packages to interact with something local. Especially when the local element is the parent in the relationship.

  • Blog Post: App-V 5.0 OS Integration - Part 4 - State Changes

    In previous parts of this series we looked at the App-V 5.0 package format, how it sits on our client OS in the file system cache and how the registry works.

  • Blog Post: App-V 5.0 OS Integration - Part 1 - Package Format

    In this series of posts I am going to take you behind the scenes of how our packages integrate with our operating system in App-V 5.0. The most logical place to start is with the package itself and understanding what is output by our Sequencer. Let’s take this Paint.NET package and try...
  • Blog Post: App-V 5.0 Standalone Mode - Adding and Publishing a Package

  • Blog Post: Enabling computer based targeting in App-V 5.0

    Happy New Year! I hope you all had a perfect holiday season, I definitely did but now I think it's time for my first post of 2013....

  • Blog Post: App-V 5.0 RDS Client - Where can I find it!?

    This is a question I am often being asked as some people are expecting to find this within the MDOP download, in which you will only find the desktop client. To get the App-V RDS client you need to go to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Centre .

    In App-V 4.6 we used to use the command line Sfttray /exe to open a process inside the virtual environment of an App-V Package, a lot of people referred to this as “breaking into the bubble”. As you would of heard, our trusty sfttray commands have been replaced in v5 by all new PowerShell...
