Students run into this problem in our App-V training classes every time.
The Problem
In one of the labs we deal with creating and deploying a handful of browser plugins in a connection group. And everyone runs into an issue of some of them seemingly not working. The lab specifies a set of plug-ins to use, but I usually encourage …

JreBlock: is a simple PowerShell script to help when you need to sequence a Java JRE inside of an App-V virtual environment and want to block visibility to other Java versions that might be natively installed at the client.
The typical technique to sequencing Java JREs is to actively …

This post is about the performance impacts of combining Microsoft App-V 5 sequenced virtual applications with applications that use Microsoft .Net. I wish this story ended with good news, or at least reasonable actions that you could take to improve performance, but it isn’t so. Instead …

It is full of features. I mean, why not call it release 5.1 (or 5.3)? Or maybe Service pack 3? Surely they know how to build …
In writing some apps for some APP-V 5 performance testing, I stumbled on a problem that was at least new to me.
I know that in App-V 5 the client will only run Virtual Services under the Local System account. But I didn’t know that it totally ignored the others, I thought it captured them and just changed the account. …
A small comment by Microsoft’s Thamin Karim at the European AppV User Group event in Amsterdam last week caused me to re-think streaming in App-V 5. It was one of those “duh!” moments that occur when something so obvious hits you and you realize that you hadn’t really thought about it and were operating on wrong assumptions.
The comment, which …
