    Hi

    Is there a way to save out the sequenced app to a regular file share and then load it into the App-V client on another machine to test it.  I want to avoid having to publish it via the server all the time during testing.  I've tried but after loading into the client and creating a shortcut I get and error at launch - Cannot Start Application - Unable to initialise package information (0x00000000)

    I thought we used file shares on the course but it was a very long time ago, might be wrong.

    If it is possible to do can you post a quick how to, or link.

    Thanks

     If your using the 4.5 sequencer can't you just use the MSI option? Or if you use another 4.x version you could try the MSI utility: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=37a9e590-4f55-44ac-93e1-36eb63a09240&displaylang=en&tm

    Edit: the MSI options it typically for the disconnect scenario.

     You can use http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=210688&package_id=274199&release_id=596157. to copy the packages to network share and just launch the OSD files to test the application without publishing them.

     Hi zukie,

        If u r using App-V 4.5, includes a great feature: file streaming. There are no server or network pre-requisites required so it’s a very low overhead way to quickly get an application up and running. It’s ideal for any scenario when you don’t want a publishing or streaming server. For example, these situations come up when you’re testing a newly sequenced package.

    Thanks for all the responses.  All good ideas.

    Jurjen - wasn't sure what the MSI option did THANK YOU
    Johri - good tool, copy worked great, but didn't manage to setup in the client.
    app-v.in team - excellent command line guidence thanks.

    I'm using the Package Manager to copy the packages locally then running the MSI to do the config and voila !

    The error continued with all methods and was eventually tracked down to a problem with the App-V client.  I uninstalled it and installed it again and then the packages launched OK.

    Thanks for all the help.

    you might have to set the following entries in 4.5 client

    1. Set the registry key AllowIndependentFileStreaming under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\Configuration to 1.

    and try again.
