Rade Registry Pruner
Introduction
The Application Streaming Rade Registry pruner is a utilty to trim the contents of the installation image registry space. The streaming service will automatically prune the execution content for disk, but as applications are updated numerous times, the registry space can become cluttered with old versions of registry content. This tool will trim the registry content, for each GUID keeping a configurable number of versions.
The default "keep" is 2, which enables rollback to one version prior with no need to restream from the Application Hub.
The tool is designed to be run as a command line utility, on a schedule using an account that has delete access to the registry space which holds the registry execution content for streamed applications. This space is usually HKLM\Software\Citrix\RadeCache.
