Server Application Virtualization Remote Application Packager Available for Download

Microsoft has released a Server Application Virtualization (App-V) Remote Application Packager and it is now available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. Server App-V Remote Application Packager allows for packaging of natively installed applications from a remote server.

This tool complements the regular Server App-V Sequencer by allowing packaging of MSI installed applications. After packaging an application using the Remote Application Packager the resulting virtual application can be deployed similar to any regularly packaged application and upgraded using the Server App-V Sequencer as well.

Note: The tool can only be installed on a server that has the Server App-V Sequencer and can only be launched during the Installation Phase of the Sequencer workflow.
