App-V Client
As of 2011, there are actually four branches of the App-V Client available:
- App-V 4.5 SP1
- App-V 4.5 SP2
- App-V 4.6 RTM (including the All Languages release)
- App-V 4.6 SP1
- With the release of App-V 4.5 SP2, the only real difference to App-V 4.6 is 64-bit support, but you can now virtualise Office 2010 with 4.5.
- If you are deploying 64-bit Windows, you will need to deploy the 4.6 client or above
- If you are planning your App-V deployment, I recommend deploying App-V 4.6 instead of App-V 4.5
The current App-V client versions are shown in the table below:
| Version | Desktop Client | Remote Desktop Services Client |
|---|---|---|
| App-V 4.5 SP1 | 4.5.2.19911 | 4.5.2.19911 |
| App-V 4.5 SP2 | 4.5.3.20031 | 4.5.3.20031 |
| App-V 4.6 English only | 4.6.0.10331 | 4.6.0.10331 |
| App-V 4.6 Languages release | 4.6.0.30101 | 4.6.0.30101 |
