Hello - I would like some advice on how to handle Application Deployment Types with differing requirements.
The example I would like to use is the Microsoft App-V 5.0 SP1 client
When installing the App-V 5.0 SP1 client on Windows 7, the pre-requisites are WMF 3.0 (which includes Powershell 3.0), .NET 4.0 and KB2533623.
I have configured the App-V 5.0 SP1 deployment type so that these pre-requisites are automatically installed prior to installing the App-V 5.0 client.
On Windows 8.1, the App-V 5.0 SP1 client has no pre-requisites that need to be installed, and of course the Win 7 pre-requisites do not apply to Windows 8.
So how can I configure the App-V client deployment type so that it can be used by both windows 7 and windows 8.1 machines?
What will happen when a Win 8.1 machine tries to install the App-V 50 client using the deployment type I have already created? Will it fail because it will try to install the pre-req that only apply to win 7?
Or will I have to create a new Deployment type just for Windows 8.1?
