Middleware applications Use the middleware application type to sequence middle-
ware or framework software that another sequenced application package requires. For
example, a particular environment might be required to run a sequenced application.
You can sequence this as middleware.

Preparing the Sequencer environment
The App-V Sequencer requires the following software:
Windows 7 (x86 and x64), Windows 8 (x86 or x64), or Windows 8.1 (x86 or x64)
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.51 and .NET Framework 4.5 (Full)
Windows PowerShell 3.0 (included with Windows 8.1 and Windows 8)
Microsoft KB2533623 (an update for Windows 7)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (x86 and x64; executable file install only)
Installing the Sequencer involves running an executable file (.exe) or installing from a
Windows installer package file (.msi). If you install from the .msi file, you do not need to install
the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable manually.
You should install the Sequencer on a client computer that runs the same operating sys-
tem as the clients that will run the sequenced applications. When you are selecting the client
on which to install the Sequencer, keep the following guidelines in mind:
If your end users are using an x64 version of Windows 7, you should sequence applica-
tions on a computer running the x64 version of Windows 7 with the App-V Sequencer
installed.
If you have a mix of x86 and x64 clients, you can either sequence the x86 version of an
application and deploy it to both architectures or sequence the x86 and x64 versions
separately.
A computer running the Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 operating system will be able
to run an application sequenced on a computer running the Windows 7 operating
system.
Although an application sequenced on a computer running the Windows 8.1 or
Windows 8 operating system will likely run when deployed through App-V to a com-
puter running the Windows 7 operating system, Microsoft does not recommend this
strategy. Instead, you should sequence applications that you intend to run on comput-
ers running the Windows 7 operating system on a computer running the
Windows 7 operating system.
