How to launch native/local processes within the App-V 5.0 Virtual Environment

GrayAndYellowGearsMicrosoft’s own Steve Thomas just posted a great article on launching apps inside the App-V v5 virtual environment:

Back in 4.x, we pretty much had one of two ways to launch an application inside the virtual environment or “bubble” as it is often called. One way was through the use of a pre-launch script.
