AppLocker is a new feature of Windows7 that allows administrators to define policies that can allow or deny a user’s ability to run or install executable, MSI, or script files. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) separates the application from the operating system preventing application conflicts and enabling the ability to run multiple versions of an application of the same desktop. Virtual applications can be delivered in many ways – streaming by assigning applications to user, delivering to machines via Configuration Manager or by using file streaming from removable media. Using App-V and Applocker together ensures that no matter how the application is delivered or what format is takes, physical or virtual, it will respect the policies defined by IT.

Watch these demonstrations to learn how to configure App-V; create, update, and publish virtual applications; and create and manage policies for virtual applications.

In this article, author Aaron Phillips goes through the process of customizing the behavior of an SVS package using WiseScript. WiseScript is a simple, yet versatile scripting language that consolidates dozens or hundreds of lines of code into predefined script actions. Phillips mentions:

Since I was introduced to WiseScript, I have to say, it’s grown on me more and more. WiseScript is a quick and easy to use tool that can bring customized control to how your SVS applications perform.

In this example, author creates a “Post Activation” event for an SVS package using WiseScript to display an End User License Agreement (EULA) and to set a registry key with its acceptance for the currently logged on user.
