Video: Tim and 5 other App-V MVPs interviewed by TechTarget’s Colin Steele.
In October, we had a group of 6 App-V MVPs together in Boston to meet with the App-V development team. We had an opportunity to shoot an interview at that time with TechTarget’s Colin Steele. 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 …

Once upon a time in a land far, far, away, when an APPV virtual package landed on a client machine, the OSD file was cached in a special folder using the filename it was packaged with. This made it easy to debug a new package at the client by editing the local copy.
