Here is my attempt to explain the differences between App-V before version 5 and version 5. It is a 16 minute video to explains the main differences at the client and how this affects your ability to deploy applications.

About App-V 5 and Installers that delete things
One aspect of App-V that we rarely discuss is then when you are sequencing, the sequencer not only detects added folders, files, registry keys, and registry items, but it also pays attention to things that the installer removes. By this I am not referring to a temporary file added and then removed, but something that was present prior to …
PowerShell with App-V 5
PowerShell with App-V 5
… With the release of Application Virtualization version 5.0, Microsoft changed out all of the old scripting and programming interfaces and replaced them with brand new PowerShell interface modules. In this book, the authors dig well below the limited online help that comes with the product to fully expose not only the PowerShell cmdlets, but also the

We were handcuffed in that we couldn’t disclose information we knew about (under NDA) the final App-V release, but we were free to talk about …
Why our new App-V 5 Class won’t be called “Masters Level”
As we are getting ready to launch our final App-V 4.6* “Masters Level” training class next week, I am being hit up by people wanting to know about a 5.0 class.
So let me make it clear. We won’t be labeling the new 5.0 class as a “Masters Level” class. oWhen I started training folks on App-V many years ago, …
Why I am Documenting the App-V 5 Schemas
One of the great things about App-V 5 is that they have eliminated so many things that were not documented nor well understood. For so many years, my OSD Illustrated and OSD Reference e-book were the only place to find the full OSD file syntax.
