App-V 5.0 Package Browse

I wanted to share with u a strange behavior in App-V 5.0 which I found hard to understand
I sequenced an application to a folder C:\Test on drive C:
I ran a virtual process environment of CMD of the virtual environment
when I go to drive C: and type 'Dir' I can't find my C:\Test folder.
the same if I open virtual notepad, explorer, whatever.... - the virtual folders aren't there!
however, if I manually type the folder's name I can access inside!
is there a way to expose the virtual folders inside the package?! it wasn't like this in App-V 4.6 and it make things so much difficult
I have an virtual application with a templates folder inside it (C:\Program Files\App\Templates)
from the application itself - users used to go to "Templates" and then browse to the templates folder and choose the template.  now with App-V 5.0 it's a mission impossible to educate users to type the folder's name manually in order to see
its content!
any help will be appreciate

Thanks Nicke,
No one is doing a migration because migration its not possible scenario.
There are too many differences between the versions and a result of that also dependencies to overcome in order to replace the usage in App-V 4.6.
As for this case, you should know as well as i do, not all the applications are compatible with App-V 4.6.
There are limitations, which very often we manage to overcome, but sometimes the applications are much too complicated for that
So we're trying with App-V 5. Most of the times, there's a big success and we manage to create a working package.
With that being said, I'd really like to raise a ticket, even 2 or 3.
There are so many things that needs to be seriously addressed, how can i do it?

  • Office 365 ProPlus App-V 5.0 Package installs Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote even though they are not selected for publishing

    I have created an App-V 5.0 Package for Office 365 ProPlus using the documentation provided here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219422.aspx
    I am able to load the App-V Package into my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment and deploy the package to a test machine
    Within SCCM, I have configured the deployment type to only select a couple of applications.  Notice that Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote are not selected.
    http://i.imgur.com/1eMxUlY.jpg
    For my deployment type, I only selected Word, Excel and Powerpoint.  Looking at my test machine, those 3 applications now show up in my start screen.
    http://i.imgur.com/amZmxAT.jpg
    I don't see any of the other Office applications be default on my start screen, so I would think all looks good.  If I type another Office application, lets say access at the start screen I get, "No apps match your search."
    http://i.imgur.com/fxbWEvb.jpg
    But if I type Lync, Outlook, Infopath or Onenote, it shows me that those applications are available, and I can launch them as an App-V application just as I could Excel, Word or Powerpoint, the applications that I wanted to have available.
    This is not what I was expecting when I went through the trouble to create an App-V package.  It looks like almost all of the apps become available on my client machine, all App-V is doing is making the application button in the start screen a little
    harder to find.
    What is interesting is that for the applications I did want published, I can search for them by just entering a few letters of the application name, and they show up with the 2013 version label, see below for an example search for Word.
    http://i.imgur.com/0LeS05z.jpg
    For the applications that I did not publish but still show up on my client, I have to type in the full name of the application for the launch button to come up.  For example, I can't type lyn and expect to see Lync, but if i type lync I will get an
    option to launch the application.  The same goes for Outlook, Infopath and Onenote, and when you do type in the full namke of the app, it doesn't show the version number like Word does as Word 2013, it just shows Lync, or Outlook, or Infopath, or
    Onenote.
    http://i.imgur.com/QV1afuc.jpg
    vs
    http://i.imgur.com/PxgSmUc.jpg
    Can anyone from Microsoft confirm that this is expected behavior.  If this is to be expected this is pretty disappointing, because a main point of the App-V package is it is the only way to limit which applications are deployed via Office 365 ProPlus
    but from what I can tell, it really isn't limiting anything beyond the start screen for most cases.

    So it looks like the config xml files are the best option
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/02/announcing-app-v-5-0-sp2-support-for-office-2013-volume-licensing-editions.aspx
    You can now use the Deployment Configuration file to configure the Office installation. One question I often get is, “How do I disable msaccess.exe or infopath.exe from an Office install if I am not using the MSI package?” This can be done by modifying the
    Deployment Configuration file in App-V with entries like the following:
    <Application Id="[(AppVPackageRoot}]\office15\MSACCESS.EXE" Enabled="false">
      <VisualElements>
        <Name>Access 2013</Name>
        <Icon />
        <Description />
      </VisualElements>
    </Application>
    That will prevent App-V from publishing msaccess.exe on the system and/or you can remove any undesired application shortcuts from publishing on the targeted computer using the shortcuts properties by deleting or commenting them out. Once you’ve configured your
    Deployment and User Configuration files, you’ll have everything you need to import the packages into your App-V environment to start testing.

    My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • I want my WS app. executes only from a browser link

    I am planning to write a game in java and instead of using an applet, I am considering to use Web Start technology. However, there's one thing that I have been trying to find out in the last couple of hours is that, is it possible to restrict my app's excecusion from a browser link only? I dont want my application to be lunched through a desktop shortcut or any cache. The reason for this is that, I want to keep my game free, but show my users ads on my web site before they lunch the game. I also want to save bandwidh by keeping the game files on users machines. Especially the bandwidh issue, and the auto updates feature makes me consider WS over applets. I would appreciate any help, thank you...

    It doesnt sound like even if you wanted to have a offline -dsiallowed this is exaclty what you want, you actually want to push some ad conent to the client as well from your server.
    Although this isnt allowed as a configuration option in JNLP, one way to do this would be to have a simple server process that each client must register with and therefore allows you to send information from the server to the client each time the client starts up.
    The client to server communication could be via any number of mechanisms, simple java.net.sockets, RMI, XML-RPC, CORBA, etc. If you have access to an app server on your server side I would prob use XML-RPC , otherwise if you have access to no app server just a JVM on your server side , you could use either RMI or java.net ServerSocket on your server side. (Sockets is easier but then you have to write alot of parsing logic if your messages are large in size).
    I have deployed a web start application which must register with an an upstream app server which is not written in java, it does this via xml messages over sockets (using jaxb to parse the message content). The app will start but then sut down without first registering with the app server.
    Let me know if this answered your question or if I was offbase and you were looking for something else?

  • Packaging Linux AIR app as a native package (.deb)?

    Ok, so I've been tasked with packaging an AIR app in a system package. We got a redistrubution license for AIR so I think we are good in that respect but I run into an unfortunate predicament when trying to do a silent install from a deb:
    Both AIR runtime and AIR applicaiton generate a native package (.deb in this case) during install. So even though I can run silent install from my own deb, it fails to install as it cannot install a deb during installation of a deb. I am assuming that even if I could somehow grab the generated deb file, it would be against the license agreement to do so.
    So, any thoughts as to how to get this accomplished? Is there an alternative distribution of an app that comes as a native ".deb" file? Or is there a command line option that disables a native package management install? ( I can seem to find no information on any command line options for the bin installer)
    Thanks.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Inluding java webdynpro apps into portal transport packages

    Hi All,
    Platform: EP7 SPS13, solaris, oracle DB
    I would like to know how to include java webdynpro apps into portal transport packages.
    I was reading documentation but I was not able to accomplish this.
    I have modified Pcd.TransportApplication.Export.ExcludeSystemObjects = false
    in pcdStartup.properties file.
    Transport export includes all my java webdynpro iviews, and export property RESOLVE REFERENCES is set to true in order to setup dependences to be included.
    After importing in QA portal, I can see my java webdynpro iviews, but no webdynpro application exists and iviews won't work.
    Any idea will be appreciated.
    Regards.

    Hi Claudio Roca  ,
    You ca nmove web dynpro applications to different landscapes  in two ways
    1) In NWDS u need to set Message server Port and server port of Quality or production depending on ur requirement
    In NWDS ..In Menu you can find
    Windows->perferenece  there u need to do settings
    and u need to deploy ur webynpro application
    2) you can deploy .ear file in Visual Admingoto  Visual Admin there u can find deployment button click it and deploy ur .ear file
    Please reward points if it is helpful
    Thanks

  • Pcurses, a ncurses libalpm package browser

    pcurses is a (very) basic ncurses package browser sitting on top of libalpm.
    Current features:
    * pane based display of package list and infos
    * chained filtering of packages by any combination of info fields using regexp
    * sorting by any field
    * searching by any combination of info fields using regexp
    * custom colorcoding by any field
    * command history in input modes
    Next up: _performance improvements_, code cleanup,
    A screenshot (as of 2010-11-20)
    Examples of some useful commands:
    * jump to next package with name (or description) matching 'chat': ,chat
    * filter by name (or description) containing 'chat': /chat
    * filter by all packages built in october 2010: /b:Oct.*2010
    * sort by download size: .z
    * filter by all packages built in 2010, then all packages built by me:  /b:2010 , then /a:schuay
    * clear all filters (display full package list): c
    * color code by repository: ;r
    * scroll through command history: while in input mode, up and down arrows
    A quick tutorial (copy and pasted from the README):
    QUICK TUTORIAL
    Keybindings are displayed by pressing the 'h' (Help) key in pcurses.
    Filtering takes the following syntax:
    nd:game
    1 23
    1
    is a list of field specifiers. These tell pcurses which fields to search. Field
    specifiers are the highlighted characters in the field names in the info pane.
    In this example, this means that the Name and Description are searched for the
    phrase 'game'.
    2
    the character ':' separates the field specifier list from the search phrase. If
    this character is not present, the entire string is interpreted as the search
    phrase.
    3
    is the actual search phrase. If it contains only alphanumeric characters, a
    simple and quick string search is used. Otherwise, it is treated as a regular
    expression (which is a bit slower). The search is case INSENSITIVE.
    1 and 2 are OPTIONAL.
    These searches can be chained. This means that a search for 'n:^a', followed by
    'b:2010' will show all packages beginning with the letter 'a' and having a build
    date in the year 2010.
    Previous filters are cleared by pressing the 'c' key.
    A package is available at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42685

    Maybe you could see newpad() and prefresh() function .
    I never noticed this because konsole / gnome-terminal do not have this behavior. I'm going to read up on pad. Does ncurses have something similar to double buffering? Doing only partial screen updates sounds really involved..

  • Captivate 7 App packager Browser does not support some of the content message

    Hi
    I have succesfully creating a training app using the app packager for IOS (and to a certain extent android), however when you start the app a message starts up saying :"This browser does not support some of the content in the file you are trying to view.  Use IE 9 or later, Safari 5.1 or later etc. "  The interesting thing is that I am using the latest versions of both safari and chrome?
    I checked out the javascript and and althouth there is an "if then" test, clearly it is not testing correctly.  Has someone got a fix for this e.g. modifications to the code to make it work?

  • IPAD 4 screen flicker in App store as well as browsing via safari and vdownloader. I tried restore and reset, but still the same...

    Hi everyone,
    I just have my new Ipad4 last January 27, I noticed that while downloading a certain Apps in App Store then scrolling to look for more application, my screen would flicker like flashing or something blinking on it. I don't know what happened, why is it like that? Is it somewhat connected with hardware problem or does Ios 6 version still have a bug? I've tried using safari and other video downloader like vdownloader and I tried searching in youtube, still the same dilemma, it flicker also while browsing some video. Is it hardware problem? I already reset and restore my IPAD thou its a new one still the same dilemma happened again. What should I do? It was a gift for me and I'm really worried about it. Hope you could help me regarding it. Thank you so much.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Site works in the app, but not in the browser.

    Hello iWeb experts,
    I've got problems.
    Last night I published my site. And while it appears, and functions, properly in my iWeb app, it doesn't do the same in Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
    Two issues...
    FONTS
    I chose Bellamie, Univers Condensed, and Marydale as my fonts. From reading these forums, I've discovered those won't wysiwyg on other computers if the fonts aren't available and open on them. So my two choices are to make every bit of text a graphic or to use a set of more universal fonts, correct? So my questions are...One, is there a list somewhere of fonts that will work in any browser? And, two, is there a short-cut, or easy way to transform type into a graphic without having to create image files?
    FUNCTIONS
    Here are the functions that work fine in iWeb but have gone haywire in all of the browsers I tested...
    • The type in one nav link appears smaller than all the rest.
    • Some links are active, others are not.
    • Rollover highlighting works on some links, but not others.
    • Most of the rollover links appear in the proper static color, a few do not.
    I've tested these functions on three Macs, one PC, and in the three browsers mentioned above. All of them show the exact same problems. So something must be going wrong with iWebs coding, or my host server musn't like iWeb.
    Any thoughts, suggestions on these two issues? Thanks much for any advice.
    John

    When I drag across your page most of your links do not change. The "text" portion of them doesn't change, either. Something is covering them.
    I can see that. But for the life of me, I don't know what could be covering those links. In my app, when I click in the area of the links, the type is the first item selected. Unless, possibly, it could somehow be the faint reflection of my black-and-white image (me & the ground I stand on). Hmmm...

    This I don't see. An outline? As in "an object outline," or as in "a list of dimensions and locations?" When I click outside my page contents, I get nothing.
    Thanks, QTK. I truly appreciate your troubleshooting here.

  • How To resolve "disk space is full" issue when downloading the apps in Creative Cloud Packager

    Hello All!
    I have recently started using Creative Cloud Packager and have started my first package.  I have instructed it to download to my Local D Drive (which has 200GB free) and it has started successfully however about a third of the way through it stops and some of the apps have a warning icon and the error "Disk Space is full, please clear some space and try again".  However my D Drive still shows 200GB free which implies that it is not downloading to there at all and also that there is space!
    Is there a download cache location which could be full or should it download straight to the folder I instructed?

  • How to use Help View 2 in standalone Winform app similar to VS Package Help2 from DTE2

    Hello,
     We are successfully obtaining a DTE2 object and then the Help2 object to connect our context id names with triggering the Help Viewer 2 in a VS package but can’t seem to do the same outside of VS.
     Here’s a sample of how we handle getting it okay from the VS package code:
    dte2 = Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE)) as DTE2;
    help2 = (Help2) dte2.GetObject("Help2");
     Then we can set out context id like this:
    helpId = “MYFORMCONTEXTIDHERE”;
    help2.DisplayTopicFromF1Keyword(helpId);
    Within VS this works fine for our package.  However, the winform app version can’t get the DTE2 object as no instance of VS is running.  For instance, an example like this:
    dte2 = (DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.11.0");
    won’t work as there’s no VS instance.
    Given all this…and us not wanting to use the older CHM HelpProvider winforms approach, is there any way we can achieve what the package version is doing in a pure Winforms application?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:
    Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    To help you find more useful information or find the correct forum for this issue, would you mind letting us know more information about it?
    It is the WinForm developing issue, am I right?
    You said that you use the DTE 2 object, is it related to the VS extension?
    >> However, the winform app version can’t get the DTE2 object as no instance of VS is running.  For instance, an example like this:
    dte2 = (DTE2)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.11.0");
    won’t work as there’s no VS instance.
    I did some research about it, the following case and document shared some information about the “Get References to the DTE and DTE2 Objects”, it seems that it also shares some information about “Get an instance of the currently running
    Visual Studio IDE” like the code here:
    // Get an instance of the currently running Visual Studio IDE.
    EnvDTE80.DTE2 dte2;
