Virtualization

The msi created is basically for a stanalone enviorement which does not have a streaming server but the app-v client should be installed on the machine check out this link
http://www.tmurgent.com/WhitePapers/Microsoft_AppV_Stand-Alone.pdf

you need to supply some command line override commands to run the msi

Thanks for the link rajdera1, much appreciated.

Could you confirm: My understandng is (in a stand alone \ Download and execute environment) that if you deploy a Virtual MSi say through SCCM, it will still download and cache the SFT file as well, is that a correct assumption?


thanks
again

Thanks for the replies guys, it helped find what I was looking for.... cheers

The Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer creates applications that can be run in a virtual environment. Geting is likely that "not valid" message just because you're trying to import from network share on the App-V client processes (ie, services that run on the system) triggered by the command sfttray sftmime / can not access. MSI container actually extract the package files (with the exception of TSP, of course) to your local computer, because this way you will unfortunately have the source files locally before importing.

APP-V MSI enables the distribution of virtual application. It provides virtualization without streaming. Still the deployment and configuration is now easy, it is bit complicated. The only benefit is virtualization, rest of the steps are same as usual. Not much specific information is available. It is difficult to configure the setting correctly. More user friendly documentation is required to use the software easily. It can be recommended for future use.

Traditional desktop transformation project APP-V eliminate the burden of many projects related to users and applications barriers. IT managers can migrate to new desktops faster and with less risk, critical applications, while providing a consistent end-user experience across all platforms.

Try to open msi with Orca or whatever tool you use.


Go to Custom Action table. You will get good idea about what it does :)

The computer must have read access to the L: drive and the share its mapped to.

The software can also analyze the organization own environmental applications, which will produce higher quality results and recommendations of the repair, which means a higher accuracy than manual testing.

Hi all
I am sequencing autodesk design Review 2008 and version is 4.1.0. when we publish shortcut is working fine.when we come to FTA's ".DWF",".DWFX" those are launching fine but after some time (after 15 to 20 minutes)those giving the error message.

The application took too long to be ready to interact with the user, possibly because the system was too busy. Try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, report the following error code to your System Administrator.
