I’m a little slow off the mark here (I’ve got my head buried in something unrelated), but I’ve just found out today that the App-V 4.5 Cumulative Update 1, although only available on Connect, is not actually a beta, it is the final code that you can start deploying.
The MDOP blog covered this release last month, but I think I heard “Windows 7 support” and didn’t hear much after that. My bad, I need to pay more attention.
So what is new in CU1 (4.5.1.15580)?
- Support for Windows 7 Beta and Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta
- Improved support for sequencing the Microsoft .NET Framework
- Customer feedback and hotfix rollup (includes hotfix rollup 3 plus some other fixes)
- Instant access or removal of applications assigned to end users
Get it from Connect today or wait until next month when it will be generally available to all (including the TS client which is not available on Connect).

Anyone heard if you have to apply cu1 in a certain order as we did going from 4.2 to 4.5? (ie. client first, then server, then sequencer)
Hi Chris, you should always update the client before updating the server side. This is to ensure the client always understands the XML coming down from the server during DC refresh.
Technically you can upgrade the server before the client and it will work; however if you need to get support from Microsoft they will ask you to update the server as a part of troubleshooting.
Aaron,
Your fourth point “Instant access or removal of applications assigned to end users” does not make any sense to me, nor does it appear in the official “readme” with the release. Do you have any information on what that means? We often see important changes sneak into app-V releases that we only learn about much later, so we are curiuos…
Hi Tim, I copied that point from a Microsoft page somewhere. I will need to find the source again.
