App-v client deployment

[nev104]

Hi,

 

I have just set up App-V 5.0 SP1 server and I am trying to deploy the client to our windows 7 x64 machine and I cant figure out how to do it.

 

Has anyone done this? If so could you help me.

 

Thank You

We use SCCM to deploy the AppV Client.

 

We have three deployments:

 

First one: Deploys WMI3.0 to the client which installs PowerShell 3.0 which AppV 5.0 requires. (In the end we integrated this into our image to save time in the future). The installation program for this is: wusa.exe WMI-3.0-x64.msu /quiet /norestart and the detection method is a line of PowerShell: get-hotfix | Where-Object {$_.HotFixID -match "KB2506143"}

 

Second one: Deploys the AppV 5.0 SP2 Client. The installation program for this is: appv_client_setup.exe /q /ACCEPTEULA /norestart and the detection method is an MSI Product Code of: {D5783B51-00A6-4991-B6C3-88B35BA45E94}

 

Third one: Deploys the AppV 5.0 SP2 Hotfix 5. The installation program for this is: AppV5.0SP2-Client-KB2963211.exe /q /ACCEPTEULA /norestart and the detection method is if AppVClient.exe equals version: 5.0.3404.0

 

The above works for us without any issues.

 

Hope this helps.

 

P.S - Loving AppV 5.0 ~ it has brought the end of the dreaded SIMS.net client upgrades as it only needs to be done once centrally!
