App-V 4.6 SP1 Sequencer added a lot of detection logic to help identify issues with attempted sequencings. One of those features was the detection of device drivers, as virtualizing device drivers is not supported. I have seen this feature working in the past, and assumed that I could count on it. Maybe not…

While looking into Windows IO/Mem performance on a rainy day (i.e. “no golf”), I noticed something that I do in my Hyper-V lab setup that kills performance.
I build new VMs all of the time. Usually they are for a simple test I build with MDT and I throw away the VM after a couple of weeks. I do it …
I ran into an interesting problem with 4.6SP1 while sequencing the application 7-Zip today.
If you have been at all familiar with App-V sequencing at any time prior to the 4.6 SP1, you would know that while you are in the “installation mode” with the sequencer, you not only install the application but you fully configure and customize the application …

In the hour long episode, we talk about Application Virtualization, and slide into some side subjects as well based on questions from the live audience. Check out the live meeting recording; there is no useful visuals, so you can listen in the background while being otherwise productive.…

In our App-V Masters Level Training Classes we invite students to bring in some of their own “interesting” applications to sequence. While the class includes labs that use standard apps highlight certain aspects of sequencing, we try to leave time for students to sequence without a script in front of themselves – we find that students learn the lessons the …
App-V: Installing to the (Q:\) Asset Folder or Not
| NOTE: The issue with the 4.6 SP1 sequencer that is identified in this article appears to have been fixed when sequencing using the 4.6 SP1 HF3 sequencer. |
The “Best Practices” for sequencing applications with App-V, and SoftGrid before it, have always included installing the application to the “asset folder” (sometimes referred …
When Microsoft release App-V 4.6 Sp1, which was all about the new sequencer, they also quietly put out an updated client. You don’t need the updated client to use SP1 sequenced packages, but it is an option. Supposedly the client was mostly about rolling up hotfixes, but we know that there must be changes to support the upcoming SCCM 2012 …
