How does the App V client work in Windows 10?

The App-V client is the component that runs virtualized applications on user devices. Once you enable the client, users can interact with icons and file names to start virtualized applications. The client can also get virtual application content from the management server. With Windows 10, version 1607, the App-V client is installed automatically.

Microsoft решила интегрировать компоненты своей технологии виртуализации приложений Microsoft App-V в Windows 10 и Windows Server 2016. В этой статье, я покажу ка включить интегрированный клиент App-V и как его использовать. Для демонстрации я воспользуюсь дистрибутивом Windows Server 2016, установленным на виртуальную машину VMware Workstation 12.

Даже не включая клиент App-V, с помощью простого поиска по каталогу C:\Windows\System32, можно убедится, что в нем уже хранятся все необходимые бинарные файлы.

В списке служба также имеется служба с именем Microsoft App-V Client (по умолчанию она отключена, и запустить эту службу без активации компонента App-V не удастся).

Список команд Powershell для управления Appи приложениями довольно внушительный:

Get-command | Where-Object {$_.source –eq “AppVClient”}

Чтобы включить клиента App-V в Windows Server 2016, выполните команду:

Enable-Appv

После включения App-V, текущую конфигурацию клиента можно вывести с помощью командлета:

Get-AppvClientConfiguration

Для демонстрации работы клиента App-V, опубликуем уже имеющийся у нас пакет App-V на сервере. Для публикации пакета нужно добавить его в клиенте, а после того как он будет добавлен, его можно опубликовать:

Add-AppvClientPackage "%AppVShare%\7-Zip-16.14\7-Zip-16.14.appv" | Publish-AppvClientPackage

После публикации приложения можно использовать его точно так же, как и обычное приложение. К примеру, мы установили пакет архиватора 7-Zip. Просто найдите и запустите его в стартовом меню.

Во время публикации приложения клиент App-V создает локальный кэш файлов, необходимых для запуска пакета App-V. По умолчанию эти кешированные файлы находятся в C:\ProgramData\AppV.

What is the problem with App-V on Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Microsoft released App-V as an add-on for Windows in the MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack). So I also run App-V to have some hands on experience with applications on my Windows 8.1 and later Windows 10 installation. Last week I upgraded to Windows 10 Anniversary Update 1607, and I run in to errors with App-V applications. My Total Commander session lost all the configuration settings, slow starting or even not starting App-V applications.

App-V is now part of Windows, but only for the Enterprise edition. I am running my private computers on Windows 10 Professional unfortunately. For me it wasn’t such a big problem for missing App-V, but the applications can not be removed as well without a running client.

In this blog I will show how to enable the App-V client again. Be aware that this probably not allowed in the EULA, but you are at least able to remove the packages and stop using App-V.

What are the symptoms of a disabled App-V client

Some of the App-V applications will still start, but it take ages to start. And also the settings and files which are stored in the %appdata% of the Virtual File System are inaccessible:

Running the PowerShell command Enable-AppV is giving the error message ‘Enable-Appv : App-V is not available on this edition of Windows’. The command Get-AppvClientPackage and Get-AppvClientPackage | Remove-AppvClientPackage are not functioning as well:

Starting the Microsoft App-V Client is not possible, even after setting the service to start manual or automatic.

How to fix the App-V client and let it start again

The fix is easy, open the registry editor and change the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Enabled

To the value 1

After this change the App-V client will start function, and you are also able to remove all the App-V packages and disable it again to be compliant ;-).

In case you want to get rid of all you’re App-V packages run this (be carefull):

Get-AppvClientPackage | Remove-AppvClientPackage

Since Windows 10 version 1607 Microsoft build-in the App-V client. With this App-V client you can now run virtualized application that are made with App-V Sequencer. The nice part is, is that de App-V client can get virtual applications from the App-V management server. But before you can use the client…. you must enable it. By default it is disabled. Below I will describe how to enable it by using Group Policy Objects and Powershell. And where you can do custom settings for the client.

First we start with the Group Policy.

To do this click start -> run or windows key + R and then run gpedit.msc

Now the Local Group Policy Editor starts.

Here you can see that de App-V Client is disabled.

Now double click “Enable App-V Client”

Now select Enabled and click OK

Now restart your device and App-V Client is enabled.

Next step is to enable App-V using Powershell

First start Powershell

Now Powershell is started.

Now let’s start to enable App-V

Type Enable-Appv and press Enter

Now you see that App-V was successfully enabled.

Type Get-Appvstatus to see the status of App-V

If AppvClientRebootRequired is true then do a reboot.

Now your App-V is enabled.

Extra:

To check the app-v configuration you can run the cmdlt Get-AppvClientConfiguration
