App Streaming – WinSxS
Windows Side by Side is a complicated beast and a source of much confusion in Windows system administration. Today's post provides a foundation in WinSxS and goes into considerable detail about how this works with Citrix App Streaming. History DLL Hell is the root of all evil and the Microsoft C runtime is the root of DLL Hell. In case anyone is counting, that's "2" statements describing ...

Notice that ...
