The Altiris SVS applet is installed when you install Wise Installation Studio. It is available
from the Windows Control Panel and lets you import, export, and manage Virtual
Software Packages (VSPs). It is not installed on your end users' computers when they
install your virtual applications.
When you create a layer and the output is a virtual software layer, the layer appears in
the Altiris SVS applet as soon as it is created. From the Altiris SVS applet, you can
export a layer to an archive file, which is a portable layer.
To access help for the Altiris SVS applet, open the applet and press F1.

If updated versions of the SVS Drivers exist, you can download them from the Help
menu of Virtual Package Editor. This downloads the SVS Driver runtime, which is an
unlicensed version of the driver. It also downloads and installs the full version of the SVS
Driver (Software Virtualization Agent) and some other SVS related files. Wise
Installation Studio uses this full version for its features that use SVS functionality.
The SVS Driver runtime is used whenever you create an installation that installs an
application into an SVS layer and you choose to include the SVS Driver in the
installation. You can include the SVS Driver runtime in installations that you create in
Virtual Package Editor, Windows Installer Editor, and WiseScript Editor. You also have the
option to have the SVS Driver runtime downloaded when the installation runs on the end
user's computer.
