Technically, it’s already available to use in Windand up. MSIX App Attach at this moment still seems pretty far off from being generally available. In theory, that should not be a required in MSIX, though I have experienced slow installs when a lot of registry was present. When using App-V today, if an app has thousands of registry keys, we have to pre-stage the registry. As Tim pointed out to me, the registry handling of MSIX is similar to App-V’s short-lived CREG (Container Registry) which provides stellar performance as mounting the registry is very quick. The same report suggests a feature similar to App-V’s Connection Groups could be on the horizon too. Right now it requires a little extra effort to get the auto-updates working as the MSIX natively doesn’t provide it, but reports suggest this will be changed in future. The update capabilities of MSIX show great potential. Of course, if you’ve been following Azure Virtual Desktop as it has grown, you’ll be aware that Microsoft has been promoting MSIX and MSIX App Attach over App-V. You’ll need to change a setting to allow the use of 8.3 folders (at least at the time this was written) and get a file share for hosting the content share, but it works very well. My personal preference is to use App-V with AppVentix, and yes, it can work in Azure Virtual Desktop. Bugs have been introduced into the client via Windows Updates and have been fixed so it should remain a viable solution. If App-V is working for you as it is today, it suits your future initiatives, and you can accept you need to move off it by 2026 then you can keep using it. The product is in “keep the lights on” mode. With all this change, I figured it’s worth revisiting the topic! So let’s go! App-V and MSIXĪs stated, App-V 5.1 support has been extended to 2026, but there will be no new features added. Microsoft also acquired FSLogix and have shown previews of a new product called MSIX App Attach.
Microsoft extended support for App-V 5.1 to 2026 and also launched MSIX. While a few years ago the announcement of End of Life for Symantec Workspace Virtualization and Streaming was still recent, time has passed, and those using their products should hopefully have moved to something else completely or at least partially by now.īased on people contacting me for help, I know as recently as three years ago, people were still using Citrix XenApp streaming, but XenApp 6.5 has now passed End of Life so alternatives must now be used for those customers too. Cameyo still has its virtualization engine available but has completely re-vamped their platform to provide a really solid application and desktop hosting solution. Nutanix acquired Frame and has enhanced it with the release of Xi Frame.
