I found this post on a blog of Sepago. Could be useful when using Dynamic Suiting. Here you can find the original article.
App-V’s Dynamic Suite Composition is a powerful feature in that it allows multiple “bubbles” to share the same virtual environment. In other words, package A can be made dependent on package B. But if DSC is used extensively, dependencies between packages tend to become difficult to manage – there seems to be no simple way of listing all packages’ dependencies. Well, I have written a PowerShell script that does just that.
Using Get-AppVPackageDependencies
Just call the script with the path (UNC or local) to a folder containing packages. The script will recursively search the path given for OSD files and analyze each OSD file for dependencies. Here is some sample output:
PS D:\> .\Get-AppVPackageDependencies.ps1 .\ ============================================================ Dependencies found: ============================================================ DaveSoft_CopyRite_Vista.CopyRite -> Nvu Opera -> Firefox_JRE ============================================================ All packages found: ============================================================ Name GUID ---- ---- Nvu 3AAC7EE6-84C4-4021-966B-56C52FF95AAF WinDirStat 3C5E1C59-D56E-4463-B9A0-5190034E6223 DaveSoft_CopyRite_Vista.CopyRite 4A7697E4-ED02-4D87-A8F0-88D7DEB914DE Firefox_JRE 999E8458-D477-4975-B3C8-3BCE1252B991 Opera 24D14B13-1838-45B2-9DAC-78D0A7432F69
In the example above, the script was located in the same folder as the packages, thus the parameter “.\”.
Get-AppVPackageDependencies – the Script
Here is the source code. Let me know if it is useful to you.

The main delivery in App-V 4.6 is 64-bit supportability. The rest of the product features and functions are much the same, if not identical, with those in App-V 5.1 SP1. This 21 minute screencast is not a tutorial of App-V 4.6. Viewers are expected to be experienced with App-V and familiar with the App-V infrastructure. The following shows App-V 4.6 Windows Desktop Client and App-V 4.6 Client for Remote Desktop Services (or Terminal Services) installed in a 64-bit operating system.

After you sequence an application that uses the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer version 4.5 or a later version, you have the option of generating a Windows Installer package to publish the application. If you try to publish a Windows Installer package that is located on a network share, you may receive the following error message:
The Application Virtualization Client could not complete the operation.
The Application Virtualization Client is operating in disconnected mode and cannot perform the operation requested. Ensure that you can connect to the Application Virtualization Server, and then retry the operation. If the problem persists, report the following error code to your System Administrator.
Error code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx0A-000001D1
Additionally, the corresponding Sftlog.txt file contains several additional errors that have a result code (also known as rc) of xxxxxx2A-00000005. Also, the Windows Installer log file contains logs that resemble the following:
=== Logging stopped: date time ===MSI (c) (3C:68) [11:53:01:145]: Note: 1: 1708 MSI (c) (3C:68) [11:53:01:145]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038 MSI (c) (3C:68) [11:53:01:145]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038 MSI (c) (3C:68) [11:53:01:145]: Product: msitest — Installation failed.
For details on the cause and how to fix this issue please see the following new Knowledge base article:

Farm Commander for looks a lot like ‘Norton Commander’ and ‘Total Commander’ but the functionality is very different. With Total Commander both the left and right panel are file systems. With Farm Commander the left Panel is a file system, where you can select files and directories. In the right panel are the Windows 2000/XP/Citrix/Terminal/Domain workstations/servers listed. First you select files in the left panel, and then you select the servers in the right panel. Then you choose your action, copy, move or delete. Farm Commander then copies, deletes, and/or moves the selected files to/from the selected server. Especially in Citrix/Terminal Server environments you need to copy files from or to several servers at once. So time is gained here, Farm Commander also features a detailed report of each action. As administrator you must know if there were failures in the taken actions. (Read only/not enough rights)
In version 1.1 the following new features where added and/or addressed:
- Event viewer searcher added
- Bug fixes when searching AD
- Faster folder searching
- No longer crashes when current device is removed
- Proper windows vista/7 support
- Better detection of absence of Citrix
Farm Commander remains free for 2010, only registration is required.To learn more and to download the above file, please visit: Gourami Farm Commander Version 1.1 for Citrix, Terminal Services and VMware
