App-V 5 and Citrix Integration Resources

  • Article

I work with a lot of customers who leverage App-V in this capacity and they have been asking me to maintain a “living post” that contains links and references to Citrix and App-V 5 integration resources.

So with help of App-V 5 SEE John Behneman, (you may recognize him from the official App-V support blog) below is a collection of Citrix KB and documentation links related to App-V 5.0 when integrated with Citrix technologies:
