I got this mail from Flexera, the makers of AdminStudio, and their new product intrigued me because they have a great reputation for packaging tools and they now support both 64-bit repackaging as well as App-V 4.6. Very exciting!
AdminStudio Now Repackages 64-Bit Applications
It’s rapidly becoming a 64-bit world. Office 2007® now has a 64-bit version, and many other vendors are following suit. For IT teams that want an easy way to prepare these 64-bit applications for reliable deployment to Windows 7, there’s the new AdminStudio 9.5 Service Pack 1.Released last month, AdminStudio 9.5 Service Pack 1 makes it easy to repackage 64-bit applications to Windows Installer (MSI) packages.

Microsoft App-V 4.6 is now publicly available as part of MDOP 2010. With the release of AdminStudio 9.5 Service Pack 1, AdminStudio now supports App-V 4.6 and can convert applications to 64-bit App-V 4.6 packages 9 times faster than manual sequencing.New features in App-V 4.6 include:
- App-V 4.6 is now compatible with 64-bit Windows client and server platforms, enabling IT to take advantage of x64 for client hardware refresh and deploy App-V to Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Services.
- App-V 4.6 enables Windows 7 mobile users to access apps on the road – virtual applications can be made available offline and can be streamed over the Internet.
- App-V 4.6 and SCCM 2007 R2 SP2 now deliver virtual applications faster to users at logon. Users no longer need to wait for policy refresh to gain access to their applications.
- App-V 4.6 saves on SAN storage space by using a cache of virtualized applications that is shared across all your VDI desktops.
