Seqinfo “a lazy admin tool”
At this moment application virtualization is hot; and because of this I am at a customer where I have to sequence no more than 15 applications. Because I want to make neat packages with all the info someone who has to troubleshoot my packages needs I created “SeqInfo”.
Seqinfo is a simple tool that will save you a few mouse clicks and minutes every time you create a new package. (I am aware that this is totally useless in my situation because I only have to sequence 15 applications: but I’m just lazyJ)
What will it do after I setup you’re tool:
· it will ask you for some input:
o You have to enter you’re name (just once it will remember)
o You have to enter the package name
o You have to enter the 8.3 name (read the app-v manual why!)
· After this point SeqInfo takes full control
o Creates a folder on the Q drive (Q:\{8.3 package name})
o Start the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer
§ Start the sequencing wizard
§ Enter the Package name
§ Enter the comments
§ Click begin monitoring
§ Browse to primary install directory and start the monitor
Wow, can we have this tool? Of course just click here and enjoy, please note that comments and suggestions (not about typo’s!) are always welcome please drop them below in the comments box. And make sure you also checkout the Resource kit from Immidio that contains the app-v pingtool and visit Softgridblog.com for some decent independent information about app-v!
