Advanced Sequencing Topics

Saturday, 15 September 2007 by Michel Roth

The Softgrid Team has a blog entry up on the art of sequencing called "advanced sequencing topics". The author, Sean Donahue, goes to some length to explain that al though the title talks about advanced sequencing, this really shouldn't be to advanced if you are sequencing.

The example that is given in this first article is a classic one: an applications that only accepts an installation to the C: drive in stead of the preferred virtual Q: drive. Microsoft does not recommend Sequencing to the C:\ drive for a number of reasons. First, depending on how the Sequencing is performed, it may introduce slight or significant Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization overhead. Also, the specific drive letter C:\ would be required to be present on the Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization client.

Read Sean's first article of the series to make sure that you know how to deal with applications that only accept the C:\ drive as a installation drive.
