App Streaming – Custom app dev guidelines
I received an interesting inquiry recently - we are writing applications specifically to be run under Citrix App Streaming and we want to make sure we don't do things that will cause complications at runtime.

Vista UAC Dialogs are your friend
Microsoft Windows core OS folks get a bad rap for Vista and in particular, UAC dialogs.

App Streaming – Deploy folder location
Application Streaming stores stuff isolation layers. The main one that holds the executable content is stored in the "RadeCache" directory below the Citrix Streaming Client installation directory. The sub-directory name is a GUID that uniquely identifies the execution image. There is a corresponding user layer that is sandwiched on top and the application at runtime views the machine through the 3 layers of isolation. Here's a ...
