How to download App-V 4.5 RTM
So how can you get your hands on App-V 4.5 RTM, well the answer my friends is on https://licencing.microsoft.com.
You can download it today from the MVLS website.You will obviously need to have a valid agreement to download software.
1. Go to https://licensing.microsoft.com
2. Log-in using Passport account
3. Go to the Products Download Section
4) Under Windows released 2008-09-04 you should see Application Virtualization 4.5.
5) Once you select that you can select Language and your download speed and away you go!
Note: Remember you are governed by license agreements and product use rights so you must have a valid MDOP license.
Also be aware that this download name will likely change over the coming days to reflect Microsoft Application Virtualization Hosting for Desktops 4.5. Do not be confused by this ! These are App V 4.5 bits and valid for you to download.
Happy Virtualization peps!

So for the software insurance app-v release it is actually bundled with the MDOP 2008 R2, which is at the bottom of the download site under "Software Assurance" and than "Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack For Software Assurance 2008 R2 2008-09-29 " Hope this helps Zarbie!Anonymous

What about us poor Microsoft partners? It's not on MSDN or TechNet yet.Anonymous

Hello John, Thanks for your comments! However I think you may be a little upset for no real reason. What about MSDN or Technet? We offer our code here for you to test and play with. http://blogs.technet.com/virtualworld/archive/2009/04/09/how-to-download-the-mdop-2009-app-v-4-5-cu1.aspx This code is available for user there and has been very well recieved for PoC etc. As for "noone is using it".... I have to chuckle at that comment :o) (I wish I could get a free day I am so busy with customers deploying it!) Let us all know your thoughts.... Regards JustinAnonymous

On my VL site, it's listed as "Application Virtualization Hosting for Desktops 4.5" That's the right one, yes?Anonymous
September 19, 2008

G'day, Is there a list of fixes / changes from the RC version to the RTM version ? Greg.Anonymous

We have Software Assurance and access to the MDOP package. However there is no "AppV" package under windows at MVLS. Anyone know how to get a hold of it? Best regardsAnonymous

Is App-V RTM the full production (Non-Beta) version of App-V? I just want to make sure I'm using the most recent version. Thanks, Myron AbstonAnonymous

Does this client download exist for Partners? I can't find it on MSDN.Anonymous

Err. And pray tell how one is meant to run a POC!? - Why should I pay for something that may not work for us!? If Microsoft want to really get into the virtual arena they should make the product available! I couldn't give a hoot if we get a 90 day trial, I just want to try it! No wonder no-one is using it - THEY CAN'T GET HOLD OF A COPY! Virtualware!Anonymous

Hey Justin, Someone needs to let Microsoft know this... I've called the 0870 60 10 100 number on three seperate occassions today and all 3 times I've been advised App-V is not available to download and trial. You can even listen to the voicemessage if you want ;) I just looked on TechNet and I can only see it for Terminal servers. I want to use this - SWV from Symantec is a no go. - They have problems a plenty! I'll jump back on TechNet and have a hunt again. Thanks
