Recently I was involved with the customer who uses, amongst the traditional App-V Management Server –based RTSP publishing, a HTTP publishing script that was posted in the App-V Team’s blog mid-2010. This script constructs necessary APPLIST information out of manifest XML files detected on a virtual directory, but unfortunately it has some shortcomings which I decided to fix and present an enhanced version here as a replacement.

Back in the last November, Sebastian Gernert who works as a Microsoft’s Support Escalation Engineer wrote an article about fixing Volume Shadow Copy –related issue with the App-V Client in the German App-V blog (browse the site with Chrome and you get handy translation prompt if you don’t read German).

One common mistake people tend to do when trying out the whole application package “side-by-side” functionality of App-V – i.e. running separate packages of the same application suite on a same machine – is to not be careful enough about how to name each individual application.
