Finally I am a Microsoft MVP (Most Valued Professional)


April 2016 started very well with a good news for me. Earlier today I was checking my mails and I was totally taken aback. I received a mail from Microsoft stating that I have been awarded the most prestigious MVP award for outstanding contributions to the Microsoft community and other forums in terms of App-V. I was super excited to see a recognition from Mr. Biplab Paul, PMP Audience Evangelism Manager – India Communities Microsoft.This was like a dream come true for me.

 

Getting the MVP award was one of my long term goal and finally I have achieved it. This is my very first MVP award.I am so honored to be a part of the Microsoft Community and now also the MVP program! I would like to thank all other App-V gurus, App-V MVP's, Microsoft MVP program, India MVP program and my beloved family & friends.I would like to dedicate this to Rory Monaghan who inspired me to achieve my goal.And finally a big thanks to all of you who supported me and visited my blog, without you this wasn’t even possible!


A Big Thanks to all once again.

When uninstalling in UI mode, it prompts to close when any office apps are open. Since in silent mode office is not able to do this, it fails with an error code 17002. You can check in the log file for the error code 17002. To overcome this just add the property FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN with Value="True" in the uninstall config.xml file.
