App-V 5.0 on terminal server?

Question
-
Hi,
We have a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server on which App-v 4.6 SP2 installed. In a lab environment we installed version 5.0 next to 4.6 which works fine.
Now I have some pratical questions:
-4.6 has Q-drive for applications, App-v 5.0 seems to store its files on the profile-drive (..appdata\local\microsoft\client\...? I get an error "this program is blocked by group policy" when I open a virtual app
-This Q-drive (not accessible) in 4.6, where is it physically located since our profile drive has not a lot of storage, we 'd like to manage the app-v storage location
-are there specific app-v 5.0 policies available which we SHOULD download or can we work without app-v 5.0 policies?
J.

Hello,
1. Most likely you have blocked the file you are trying to open. I would investigate your Group policies.
2. Only Changes are stored in the profile. Read more here; http://www.virtualvibes.co.uk/app-v-5-0-os-integration-part-2-file-system-cache/
3. App-V 5 Group policies are located here;
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41183
Should? well, that depends .... on your design. Which you didn't share anything about

Thanks.
1.Yes indeed but what should I unblock? Terminal servers are running for some years now, I need to know which settings to change exactly.
=> I'll create a seperate post for this
2.Ok, so delta's are changed in the profile, but where is the package itself located then?
3.ThanksJ.
