Is anyone using AppVolumes 3 yet?

Hello,

We are deploying a new Horizon environment on View 7.1.0.  We will be deploying on all-flash vSAN and want to utilize AppVolumes on top of non-persistent linked-clones to publish some specialized software for specific users.  I just installed and deployed AppVolumes 3 and it looks much different than the book I read about AppVolumes 2 (Learning VMware App Volumes from PACKT Publishing.)  So my question is, is anyone using version 3 yet, or would we be better off deploying on the latest version of 2.x?  I can't find a lot of documentation about 3 so already having some issues with my first package (it shows all kinds of launch points for Visio 2013 instead of just the EXE for the program itself.)  Thanks so much!

Chad

3x came out in 2016 and 2.12.1 is the updated version going forward in 2017

I would deploy 2 and it's the one that is working the best and has the latest updates

2.12. is working Ok for us after a bunch of issues with setup and bugs.

App Volumes 3 is not production ready yet, however you may use it for internal testing purpose. For production rollout, please use App Volumes 2.x.

Please read the App Volumes 3.0 release notes "Before you Begin" section:
