Patrick S. :

The WMI namespace for App-V has an Application class that you could use to get the App-V apps. This would probably be a little safer than reading registry keys. You could also use this class to get the application’s package GUID, which is the basis for part of the PKG folder name.

For example, to fill in your drop-down box…

$apps = Get-WmiObject -Class “Application” -Namespace “root\microsoft\appvirt\client” |
Sort-Object Name
foreach ($app in $apps)
{
$DropDown.Items.Add([System.String]::Format(“{0}”, $app.Name))
}

Patrick, thanks for your comments but my test enviroment doesn’t support the namespace in combination with the Class application so it will take some time to re-write the script using WMI. I agree that WMI is a bit safer than plain registry keys.

For example, to fill in your drop-down box…

$apps = Get-WmiObject -Class “Application” -Namespace “root\microsoft\appvirt\client” |
Sort-Object Name
foreach ($app in $apps)
{
$DropDown.Items.Add([System.String]::Format(“{0}”, $app.Name))
}
