I have been getting slammed with this question, How can I download App-V CU1 for Terminal Servers? Many Many customers just did not know where to get App-V CU1 for TS and I must admit it even caught me a bit by surprise.

3) In the product lists go to the Windows Servers section and under this you should find a Application Virtualization 4.5 For Terminal Services click the name to go to the download options. Now although the date of the released date will say 2008-10-09 (THIS IS THE CORRECT VERSION FOR CU1)

NB 13/05/2009 : The date for this has changed to 2009-03-15

6) Once you download the binaries (SW_CD_App_Virt_CAL_for_TS_4.5_English_CU1_MLF_X15-51720.exe) you should be able to extract the .exe where the client binaries are located. You will notice that the Product Version is 4.5.1.1.5580.

Good luck for all the people implementing the product and UPGRADING!!!! May your Terminal Server boxes consolidate and stay highly available!!!
