Here’s a few lessons on App-V Sequencing that are invaluable and you won’t find in the normal papers.

• App-V: Sequencing Deep Dive: Efficiently Making Your Applications Virtual
  This is an in-depth overview of the sequencing process during which you learn how an application is transformed from an installed entity into a virtualized application using the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer tool. See an application virtualized from beginning to end, learn the best practices of the process and how to identify what applications can be virtualized within your application library. The session takes you behind the scenes to show you how to create the virtual environment for an application, define dependencies to a package, manage files in the Virtual File System and the Virtual Registry; and demonstrates how it relates to the Windows OS. Learn how to enable different levels of interaction between the virtual application and other sub-systems with what App-V 4.5 offers, along with good tenets for determining what makes an application a good candidate for virtualization.

• App-V: Effectively Debugging Complex Application Sequencings
  This is an in-depth view of basic and advanced troubleshooting techniques for easily creating virtual packages of complex applications. The App-V sequencer will virtualize the majority of the applications thrown at it, but sometimes you will need to use some advance features to complete creating a virtual package for a complex app. We’ll show you how to use builtin log files and external tools such as Procmon to understand why a virtual package is not working as expected and how to make changes to enable it to work as expected. Areas covered: Sequencing, Client Deployment, Application Deployment
