PPLYING THE VIRTUAL APPLICATION CONFIGURATION TO THE HOST
DEVICE
ZENworks Application Virtualization allows the virtual application configuration to be applied to
the host system. Applying the virtual application configuration to the host system is helpful when
creating SVM updates for virtual applications.
To apply the virtual application configuration to the host system:
•
Click the Apply Configuration button in the Start menu of the ZENworks Application
Virtualization application.
•
Enter the path of the sandbox to be merged into the current configuration.
•
Click Yes to acknowledge that the Apply Configuration process cannot be undone.
Note: The Apply Configuration feature is not intended for use as an installation process for
virtual applications.
For example, to create an SVM update to the Firefox virtual application template:
•
Use the Configuration Wizard to create a Firefox virtual application.
•
With the Firefox configuration loaded, run the Apply Configuration process as above.
•
Open a new virtual application configuration.
•
Capture a before snapshot.
•
Open Firefox, select Help>Check for Updates, and apply any updates.
•
Capture an after snapshot.
•
Build the captured updates as an SVM.
•
Execute the built SVM on top of the original virtual Firefox browser and notice that the
updates have been applied.
