Microsoft Application Virtualization
We are underway on a translation of the App-V Client book into German. With luck, “Das Microsoft App-V Client Buch” will be published by summertime.
Nico Lüdemann, a fellow MVP and CTP, is busy working on the translation. As App-V 4.6 SP1 did not change the client in any significant way (as far as we know!) we didn’t need to …
As an MVP for App-V, Microsoft sometimes makes early versions privately available to us to get us to provide them some valuable feedback before it is too late in the development cycle to make changes. So I have been looking at the 4.6 SP1 changes for quite a while now — almost a year.
This enabled us an early start …
Now that the new 4.6 SP1 sequencer is out, I am releasing yet another ebook. This is just a several page PDF that is a flow chart of the wizard logic of the sequencer.

AppV_DeployApp now remembers the configured content folder, and you can now deploy a second app without having to exit and restart; all three programs now have a /help option from the command line.…

Well I received my notice today. Microsoft has named me a “Most Valuable Professional”, or MVP, for Application Virtualization (App-V) for another year. Not a huge surprise, but one always gets nervous until it arrives. |
