The new version is 6.1 SP6 MP1, and applies to both Workspace Streaming and Workspace Virtualization.  As usual there is a list of fixes, but there are also some new features that are pretty noteworthy.

On the top of the list is 64-bit support.  Yay!  A lot of people have been waiting for this.  So now, 64-bit clients are supported on all Windows 7 varieties, plus Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 and Server 2008 SP2.  64-bit is also supported on the server operating systems as well.

Next up are a couple of items I’ve been looking forward to for years, streaming by file association and dependent streaming.  So now an application may be streamed at times OTHER than when its icon is clicked.  The two new situations are when you click on a document with the appropriate extension, the corresponding application will stream.  You can set this in the console, just like you set if you want the application to be set for...

Last week DinamiQs launched its new Virtual memory Extender. The Virtual Memory Extender or VME enables administrators to run with low memory on desktops, laptops, virtual servers and/or Virtual desktops.

One of the traditional issues with running ever more Virtual Machines on server platforms is the fast increase of CPU power (ie Moore's Law) versus the slower increase in available memory on these platforms. Where CPU utilization in many cases remains relatively low, memory boundaries are reached early on, especially in the light of more demanding Operating Systems.

DinamiQs solves this memory issue through its Virtual Memory Extender (VME), an advanced technology that enhances the Windows memory manager in Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 servers by basically extending the memory of these servers transparantly onto the local or central disk subsystem. Use of the technology also leverages the speed of intelligent storage subsystems by offloading applications to that...

As some of you are aware we just released SP6 MP1 and there's a few things that need to be pointed out since I know many of you are eager to get using SP6 MP1.

(Until we have them up on the public download site please contact your sales rep to get the release--once the build is public I'll do one of my posts listing what's in the release and where to get it).

First off any XPFs or VSAs made with either of the betas (January's or July's) are not supported with SP6 so you will need to repackage any application that you made with them.  Any XPF or VSA exported from SP4 or earlier will work with the build so it's only the beta builds you have to worry about.  For the most of you this will only be x64 related stuff.

The same goes for any Office 2010 packages people were experimenting with pre-SP6 MP1.  This includes the recalled SP6 release.  You will need to repackage any office 2010 stuff.  As this is...

With Symantec Workspace Virtualization 6.1 SP6 we introduced a new EXE based installer that replaces our standalone MSI installer, which is now wrapped inside the EXE, because we’re now installing a Visual C++ runtime that’s required for XPF package support. 

This new installer supports most of the old install options that the MSI did but the switches are a little different:

Command line arguments for SWV standalone installer:

 

/s ---- Silent mode running 

/e ---- Display error and reboot messages. This option will only work with /s and returns a standard MSI error code.

SWV.ADDLOCAL=SVS_Admin,SDK,Altiris_NS   ---- To install admin, sdk, NS.  You can pass them in any order or only one.

SWV.INSTALLDIR=<PATH>  ---- To specify the target dir for the installation

SWV.DEFAULT_FILE_REDIR=<PATH> ---- To change the meta data storage folder (Virtualization "redirect...
