After following this setup, the application should be viewed from the Web interface or Program Neighborhood Agent. There are certain important points users must be aware of:
- When the user launches the application, the off-line plugin on the server calls the App-V client using the following command:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft Application Virtualization Clientsfttray.exe' “appvcontentAdobe ReaderAdobe Reader 9.0 12.0.6425.0000.osd”
This command calls the App-V client and launches the application sequence (*.osd file). XenApp does not stream App-V application; it only helps on the launch. The streaming is still being done from the App-V system. XenApp helps give more flexibility of how App-V applications can be handled. Because App-V is called, not streamed, certain XenApp features like Offline or Content Redirection cannot be used. In this case, the user needs to work with the App-V server settings.
If streaming to server is desired, then same settings apply, but on the server machine. Still, the conduit calls the App-V client installed on the user machine. Microsoft App-V does not stream to server.
- If errors appear when trying to launch applications, use the App-V command described above to test and confirm if the problem is App-V. The command can easily find the location where the problem is occurring.
