During the last Dutch Citrix User Group I had the honour to present a 15 minutes ‘pitch’ on Citrix AppDisks which is a newly introduced feature in XenDesktop 7.8. It’s Citrix’s implementation of the popular layering solutions for application distribution.

Unnamed file contains an invalid path – ABE causing trouble in paradise

APP-V error 0A-0000E01E: An unexpected error occurred
