It’s summer. Who should work all that hard anyway? I’m letting the AutoSequencer do the work for me.
With the March 2017 release of Microsoft Windows also came the 1703 version of the Windows ADK. The ADK contains a number of tools used by both developers and IT Pros and is generally updated with each OS release. When you go |

The Application Book
This is a book for packagers of all types. I find that even the most seasoned of packagers are fuzzy (at best) on what all that stuff that installers do is really for. So in our Master’s Level App-V Training classes I have been diving more and more into how application installers work and what they are |
Introducing The Learning Site @ TMurgent
Introducing a new experiment in learning from TMurgent.
There really is no substitute for a full instructor led course from us to prepare yourself for successful packaging of applications using Microsoft App-V. And if you haven’t taken one of our classes I’d recommend asking any of the hundreds of people who have taken one just how valuable the class …
1703 App-V Sequencer and Templates
One of the new features of the 1703 Sequencer mentioned in TechNet “What’s New” page involves templates.
No, Microsoft didn’t do what we asked to make it easy to always load the sequencer with a Template using a registry setting like we did in 4.x. But they did solve an issue that traps everyone when updating packages. The issue is …

App-V 5.1 Lifecycle
Sebasitan, the German Microsoft Escalation Engineer we often get new news from about App-V, recently blogged about the dates for the lifecycles for App-V 5.1. Before people get upset, let’s make sure you understand what this means.
On the date when a product version, or service pack, is released, it sets the clock ticking for end of free mainstream support …
How I sequence Java in App-V
attib: digitalart |
Earlier this week I was queried (by Andrew) about an issue with the JreBlock script we use for sequencing Java. There was an issue with using in on 64-bit machines. Patrick wrote the original version for us more than 4 years ago, and we were using a different version in our training classes than was on the website |
The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone this about App-V. Just because you didn’t hear any sound does not mean that there wasn’t a lot a noise involved. In the last year, Microsoft has made two incredibly big moves with its App-V product, and you probably didn’t hear much about it. What happened? First, Microsoft has effectively stopped charging you for App-V. Second, …
