App-V and Quest vWorkspace 7.2: What's an OSD file

Okay, not sure if this is an App-V thing, a Quest vWorkspace thing, and if it's just limited to one version of vWorkspace. I have my doubts about the latter, though/ I only had one example environment and that's:

  • App-V 4.6 SP1
  • Quest vWorkspace 7.2
  • Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in Windows Server 2008R2 SP1

What happens is that, if you publish an application using the "publish App-V application" button, everything seems to go okay. Hooray. Only when the user wants to actually use the app you'll be screamed at - beause the system will tell you tha tit has no clue what to do with an .osd application.
