Microsoft has release App-V 4.6 SP1. There are some very cool sequencer upgrades in this release. Here are the details on the upgrade and the easiest way to get the upgrade (some public downloads). If you're just looking to run the sequencer around the block, you can do so with the public download. The client installer, however, is an upgrade installer, so testing packages on the SP1 client will require upgrading an existing client, or downloading the full installer from MSDN / Technet Downloads. Feature SummaryHere is the high level list of new features in the sequencer:
Getting the CodeThe 350MB publicly available upgrade extracts into a directory structure that includes the 32-bit and 64-bit upgrade installers for the Desktop Client and RDS Client and the full installer for the Sequencer. To use the upgrade installer for the client a previous version of App-V Client must be installed - at least 4.5.0.1485. MSDN downloads provides three ISOs. One ISO for all of MDOP 2011 (2.2 GB) and two for App-V (360 MB). The App-V ISOs contain the full installer for the clients.
