All right, you do have your new App-V Beta system installed according to the Beta Documentation – but your Apps just don’t appear on the Client Desktop! Where do you start? Let’s try to figure out some basic steps that can be the foundation of a troubleshooting guideline
We are currently in the preparation of our fifth German App-V User Group Meeting (“App-V Day”) for June 22nd close to Erfurt (Sömmerda).

Instead, it states something like “just enter the name of your Database Server’ and that’s it.
