If you open a virtual software project file (.WVP) file that contains a data layer, the
inclusions in the data layer become exclusions.
See
Opening a Virtual Software Package
On the Files, Registry, and Delete Entries pages of Virtual Package Editor, a sublayer
drop-down list appears. Before you select entries on these pages, select the sublayer to
which you want to add the entries. On the Files and Registry pages, you can move items
from one sublayer to the other by right-clicking the file or registry value and selecting
Move to layer.
An SVS layer has the following sublayers:
Read-only
Writable
Warning
When you create a VSP, be sure to set exclusions on the Exclusions page in Virtual
Package Editor. Exclusions prevent the loss of user data when a layer is reset.
See
Exclusions Page
on page 28.
An end user can use Add/Remove Programs to remove or repair a Virtual Software
Package (VSP) that you create with Virtual Package Editor. The end user has the
following options when they click the Change/Remove button on Add/Remove Programs:

The read-only sublayer contains all the files and settings
that are not reset when the layer is reset. When you use
SetupCapture to capture an application, everything that is
captured is put in the read-only layer. When you create a
Virtual Software Package (VSP) using the Installation
Expert pages, you normally add files, registry keys, and
delete entries to the read-only sublayer. When a damaged
application is reset, any files or settings from the read-only
layer are restored.
The writable sublayer contains any files or settings that are
added or changed by a user of a layer. When a layer is
reset, any data in the writable layer is deleted. In Virtual
Package Editor, you use this sublayer mainly for modifying
user specific settings, troubleshooting, or testing.
(Example: When testing a layer, you could add a .DLL to
the writable layer and then simply reset the layer to
remove it.)
