Looking to get a head start on virtualizing Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 with App-V? If so then this one’s for you. Microsoft’s own Arnab Biswas just posted a recipe that describes how to sequence Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 for use with Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) over in our TechNet forum.

Just a quick heads up on a new Configuration Manager hotfix we released that may affect some of you. There’s an issue in ConfigMgr 2007 SP2 where Hardware Inventory does not inventory Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) applications in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) if the VAppCollector.exe process exceeds the 30-second…

This isn’t really App-V specific but since this is our short-term temporary home for UE-V content I wanted to post a quick heads up.

Here’s a new KB article we published today. This one describes an error you’ll get when trying to use an App-V Management Console that’s been installed to a drive other than the C drive. If you want to do this you’ll need to add the appropriate permissions for the alternate install location and you can…

Here’s one more App-V KB article we published today. This one discusses and issue where using the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Management Server website to grant access to a package to an Active Directory group fails. There are a couple different error messages you might get but they all come down to an issue with…

Here’s a new KB we published on an issue in App-V where the sequencer errors out and package creation fails. We’ve seen this a few times and it basically comes down to not having all the latest updates applied to the sequencing computer so the fix is pretty straight forward. You can read the entire…
