App-V4.6 SP1 annoncé: Des nouveautés pour le Séquenceur

novembre 16, 2010
Microsoft a annoncé au Teched 2010 le SP1 pour la version 4.6  de App-V.
Je vous propose de découvrir les nouveautés otientées Séquenceur (qui avait grandement besoin d’une mise à jour).
Ce SP1 sera disponible au premier Quarter 2011.

Improvement on the following levels:
Diagnostics: Detect problems in an earlier stage and allow for better chance of first time right package.

  • There is a check for running services and applications before the actual sequencing starts
  • After sequencing there is a report stating possible issues
    • Excluded files
    • Drivers
    • COM+
    • System differences
    • SxS Conflicts
    • Shell Extensions

Ease of use:

  • Added logics for Dynamic Suite Compositioning
  • You still need to manual edit OSD’s or use the DSC tool.

Predictability:

  • Package accelerators (or application templates) to easily package difficult applications.
  • No monitoring(just provide installer files and the package accelerator (.cab file with OSD, SPRJ, Manifest and “ingredient” files))

New features/important changes in App-V 4.6 SP1:

  • You now have the option to select the installer file. But other processes are also monitored(eg. Manual changes).
  • No more 8.3 asset dir limitation :D
  • Minimize the sequencer! (Gotta love this one)
  • Prepare for first use(disable updates etc.) and Feature block One are different stages
  • Feature block one creation with command line sequencer will be available with 4.6 SP1

Et voici une démo démontrant le tout Smile

Enjoy !!!
