jeaostro 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 Hello Is it possible to virtualize an application that only works for Windows XP, and stream it to a WIndows 7 computer with SCCM? Kan Application Virtualization solve such problems? Best Regards. Jean André Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter van der Woude 143 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 I didn't try that yet... I do know that you can select during sequencing proces on which OS it can to run. Besides that I did sequence on Windows XP and use the application on Windows 7, but I didn't look at compatability... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benoitm 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 Hi App-V allow running incompatibles programs with others (for exemple 2 versions of office) but is not a compatibility tool against OS. If an application is not compatible with windows 7, there's really few chances that App-V resolve this issue... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamitupya 1 Report post Posted March 1, 2010 i am.... but i need to try all methods... the sccm intergration worked first go... i packaged chrome and filezilla client and BAM! perfect... actually i was amazed at how simple it was, almost not like a microsoft technology at all.... the other app im trying to get working is an internal app that is a win 98/NT4 Terminal App for our AS400 farm... more of an issue.. SCCM Intergration worked perfectly though, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicmon 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2010 Hello, This is one of the major things work has me wanting to figure out as well. I have tested and found that there are programs that normally do not run in Windows 7 that are able to run when done through App-V. Seems like App-V is creating a nice bubble of any registry settings and file/folders needed when the software is installed on the App-V machine(XP). I create the virtual apps and then push them out via SCCM (awesome guide on how to do that at this website). I am doing more testing, as there are some programs that are 'legacy' and necessary that do not work with Win7. Anyone know of a good detailed manual to configuring App-V client software? Would like to better acquaint myself with how to create shortcuts and configure specifics. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KcMoboss 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 I have been able to virtualize a few programs while running the installer on a Windows 7 machine. Running the installer in Compatability mode for Win XP. So far so good. What program are you trying to Virtualize that is not meant for Win 7? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itpeder 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 Almost all the old applications can be virtualized, managed to virtualize old dos program that works under Windows 7. Some xp software has not worked!
