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.

When App-V 5 was released two years ago, I blogged about how we were renaming our training classes as “Experts” level, rather than the Masters Level designation that we used for the App-V 4.6 classes.

I have written a new “white paper” on App-V 5. This one looks at package “pellucidity” (the layering effect caused by the settings “override local” or “merge with local”), and package deletion objects and how these are implemented at the client when you use Connection Groups.
As it was in 4.6 with DSC, all is not as simple as you …
