PkgView is used to view the file and registry changes that a user makes when running virtual applications with Microsoft App-V.  These changes are stored in files with a &#8220;.pkg&#8221; extension associated with the user and the application.<\/p>\n<p>These pkg files have traditionally been a bit of a black box since Microsoft App-V does not provide a way to look at what changed. If the user somehow breaks there app, this means all you can do is &#8220;reset the package&#8221; for that user, removing all of their personalizations for that app. It is sort of like deleting the user&#8217;s profile, but only for that one app.  Because this is a black box, a tool like this is needed for troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tmurgent.com\/\/TmBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/PkgView16.png\" alt=\"PkgView\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Version 1.6 includes changes for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replaced compression library.  Now works on compressed SFTs on x64 systems.<\/li>\n<li>Added ability to auto-locate the SFT file from it&#8217;s original source, if available.  This feature requires that the sft was loaded using a FILE: override, such as with the stand-alone client or SCCM.  Otherwise you should manually specify the sft filename.<\/li>\n<li>Various small glitches are fixed, especially related to packages with ACLs stored (enforce security descriptors).<\/li>\n<li>A New Installer is used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find more information and a link to download this small program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmurgent.com\/Tool_PkgView.aspx\">at this page<\/a> on the TMurgent website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I released an updated version of the free PkgView tool.
