Recent appstream update fails to launch
A recent appstream update appears to be causing issues on some machines.
Specifically when attempting to launch on some machines it never opens. Upon reviewing Windows event logs it shows:

P6: 60b90614

P9: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
and
Application: appstreamclient.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319

Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

Does anyone know where I can obtain older versions of the Appstream client until they work out this bug? Perhaps 1.0.407 or 1.0.375?

AppStream - Possible to bypass catalog page and go straight to app?
I have my elastic fleet application just about ready to go. I’m using dynamically generated streaming URLs and it’s working great now. I only have a single application and would like to eliminate the step of the user clicking on the lone app icon in the catalog. I’ve reviewed the documentation on custom branding and don’t see an obvious way to so it. Wondering if that could be scripted somehow. Thank you!

Using custom domain with AppStream and no applications are available
I have a fully working custom application in AppStream 2.0. I can create a streaming URL and it works great. I followed the instructions for using a custom domain and it successfully goes to the appstream page, but it's saying "No applications available. Please contact your IT administrator for assistance." All I'm doing is replacing the "appstream2.us-east-1.aws.amazon.com" with my custom domain, keeping the authenticate?parameters clause intact. I've tried adjusting which headers are cached but it doesn't seem to change anything. Any ideas?

Custom Appstream 2.0 Elastic application won't mount VHD and start
I have a custom Windows application I'm trying to deploy an Elastic Fleet to. I've created the VHDX file, verified that I can mount it with the Powershell script (using a F: drive letter). I have the VHDX image, my script and the icon file in a dedicated S3 bucket and the JSON permissions all set up. When I launch the app, I can see the icon perfectly fine - so that tells me the permissions on the bucket are set correctly. I saw the other question regarding the script policy override, so that is in place as well. It takes at least 2-3 minutes for the streaming to start, and when it does, the screen is all black. I'm actually able to Fn the Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up task manager. From there I can launch a command prompt, and I do not see the F drive mapped. In fact, I don't see the C:\AppStream folder at all. According to the AppStream documentation, I should see log files in an S3 bucket, but I do not see a folder for the fleet in any of my S3 buckets. I should also mention that I have an On-Demand Fleet running and this works perfectly fine, but I would like to get this to work on Elastic since that is a better fit for my use case. I've tried deleting the fleet, stack, app block, app, and recreating all of it with the same results. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Can you configure AppStream to stream a specific application, rather than a desktop experience?
We're considering using Amazon AppStream as a way to connect to our sandbox environments outside of the corporate network. Is it possible to have AppStream only stream a specific application, rather than a desktop experience? For example: A specific URL on Google Chrome.

Create custom shortcut through the AppStream 2.0 Windows Client
A customer has some VDI workloads On-Premise and is evaluating AppStream 2.0 to migrate its VDI workloads. Today, the customer is able to create custom desktop shortcut for each VDI application. They just have to double-click on the shortcut and the application is launched. What's more, users are authenticated.
Is there a way to create custom shortcut for each golden image used within an AppStream 2.0 fleet through the client and/or authenticate in the same time these users?

Appstream Cost question
could you please help us understand something related to the costs in AppStream? In a fleet if we set the maximum to 50 instances, will we pay for 50 running instances or we will pay only for the desired capacity adjusted by the scaling actions?

AppStream 2.0 - how to launch a default app ?
Customer is testing AppStream to run an LMS for their customers. They plan on integrating their own application in a web app, handle the users via Cognito. However, they want the UX to be as smooth as possible, and therefore automatically launch the default application (their own), when the user clicks on a button that creates the URL (e.g. via the CreateStreamingURL API) - they want to skip the "Choose your app to get started".
Is there a way to do so?

Amazon AppStream 2.0 - Dell Wyse 5030 PCoIP Zero Client / P25 Compatibility
A customer is currently using VMware Horizon View for their VDI environment and planning to move to AppStream 2.0. They use Dell Wyse thin clients and wanted to know if they would be able to access AppStream 2.0 instances with these devices. My understanding is that this specific model is not supported. From AWS documentation, AppStream 2.0 will work with ***IGEL-compliant*** thin clients. It does not appear that Dell Wyse P25 is IGEL compliant from vendor documentation.
I would like to get a confirmation on whether or not this is supported with AppStream 2.0 or there are any alternatives. The customer will eventually pursue BYOD approach to eliminate additional equipment (thin/zero clients and monitors) that they need to manage and maintain, but need a definitive answer for existing thin clients support.

AppStream 2.0 Client URL
I'm testing AppStream2.0 desktop client to connect to a stack that integrated with AWS SSO. Apparently I can't put the SSO URL & the only option is to use the Appstream URL. If I copy the application URL which I get after login to the SSO (sample : https://appstream2.ap-southeast-1.aws.amazon.com/#/reserve?reference=fleet%2FOsakaFleet-AlwaysOn), the client throw 404 error.
Is there any specific way to use AS2 client with SSO-based Appstream stack?

This might be a very simple question but I can't find the answer from our webpage, the questions are:

2. Can it integrate with Workdoc so that user can access his/her own files in the app?
3. Can admin monitor the CPU/RAM/GPU utilization of the AppStream?

AS2 streaming link duration and User Pool questions
Hello,
Have few queries regarding AS2 which are listed below. Thanks in advance.
1. AS2 User Pool – Do we have script which allows administrator to create multiple users (e.g. 100) in AS2 User Pool with input parameter as First Name, Last Name, email address, streaming link start date & end date?
2. AS2 User Pool – I have multiple AS2 streaming URL and would like to associate each streaming URL to group of users in User Pool. I don’t see any option to create Group within User Pool. How do we solve this problem?
3. AS2 Streaming link – I am looking at potential customer who provides learning to internal team and needs Streaming link validity for 30 days. I know, maximum streaming link validity is 7 days. Customer don’t want to use SAML (they are happy with User Pool in AS2). What is the alternate here?
4. AS2 User Pool – when user is created in User Pool, user receives email with streaming detail, username and password. Can we customize email content which is sent to the user of User Pool?
Regards,
Wasim
