OnLive Assets Acquired by New Company

Posted: 22 Aug 2012 04:20 AM PDT

A lot of rumours are going on lately about the closure of OnLive Inc.
The company offering a cloud gaming platform and a cloud desktop solution is going through financial problems.
On august 17 it appears that a mail was sent out from their employers affirming that onLive was going to be closed and that they were all losing they job, the rumour was spread, among the others, by Brian Fargo, the video game designer, producer, programmer and executive who affirmed in his twitter account to have received the following email:

I wanted to send a note that by the end of the day today, OnLive as an entity will no longer exist. Unfortunately, my job and everyone else's was included. A new company will be formed and the management of the company will be in contact with you about the current initiatives in place, including the titles that will remain on the service.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I'm sure our path with cross again.

Considering OnLive as one of the most important exponent of the cloud gaming market, there was no knowledge of any issue since the conflict with Microsoft about using Windows 7 which apparently had been resolved. Moreover, it was assumed that OnLive was going to be one of the companies that would give more support to the newborn console Ouya.

We contacted directly OnLive inc. and Jane Anderson, OnLive PR, sent us the press release with the official statement in which it is explained that they are facing financial difficulties, therefore the decision to be acquired by a new company and that they will continue to operate as "OnLive", assuring that the assets acquisition allows the innovation and evolution of the company.

standalone mode Without Streaming: UNinstallation of application Removes all other App-V shortcuts

Posted: 22 Aug 2012 05:09 PM PDT

Hi All,

My environment is Stand-Alone Client Without Streaming

I am Sequencing the applications for our test environment. I deployed the App-V 4.6 SP1 client using this command Stand-Alone Client Without Streaming

Setup.exe /s /v"/qn SWICACHESIZE=\"12144\" SWISKIPDATASETTINGS=\"false\" SWIGLOBALDATA=\"C:\AppVirt\Global\" SWIUSERDATA=\"^%APPDATA^%\" SWIFSDRIVE=\"Q:\" REQUIREAUTHORIZATIONIFCACHED=\"0\" ALLOWINDEPENDENTSTREAMING=\"1\" AUTOLOADONLAUNCH=\"0\" AUTOLOADONLOGIN=\"0\" "

It went pretty well, Now

I am Generating the msi while sequencing and copying the msi & sft into local machine, installing the msi in quiet mode ( Stand-Alone Client Without Streaming), For that I am using this script 

 @echo off

if not exist %SystemDrive%\install\Logs\ md %SystemDrive%\install\Logs\
if not exist %SystemDrive%\install\AppV\ md %SystemDrive%\install\AppV\
if not exist %SystemDrive%\install\AppV\MozillaFirefox_13_0_1\ md %SystemDrive%\install\AppV\MozillaFirefox_13_0_1\

xcopy /y /e /q "%~dp0MozillaFirefox_13_0_1.msi" "C:\Install\AppV\MozillaFirefox_13_0_1\" >NUL 2>&1

xcopy /y /e /q "%~dp0MozillaFirefox_13_0_1.sft" "C:\Install\AppV\MozillaFirefox_13_0_1\" >NUL 2>&1

"%SystemDrive%\install\AppV\MozillaFirefox_13_0_1\MozillaFirefox_13_0_1.msi" /qb!

Everything is going well, the application Installed Pretty well and runing

But the problem is when I am tryng to uninstall this application using this command 

MsiExec.exe /X {D58E10CD-3AF8-433C-8F36-8E3DA63963A7} /qb!

Its is uninstalling but, it is also removing the other advertised shortcuts of my App-V applications from the machine and client. When I open the App-V client and selected Applications section all other virtual applications are gone. They are not uninstalled (I checked the Registry Keys) but no shortcuts 

I opened the Globel cache and checked there, the OSD files of other Virtual Applications are there but no shortcuts 

Any suggessions?

Am I installing the applications in stand alone mode correctly?? by copying them to locally?? Any Improvements?? 

Am I uninstalling the apps correctly by msiexec /x command??

What I can do better to remove the App-V application with out effecting other virtual applications ??

How much Cache space do I need to give while Deploying the client forstand alone mode Without Streaming (I gave 12144 MB), because I need to copy all applications locally right??
