Compiling a Virtual Software Package
Product Details Page
Wise Virtual Package Editor Reference
When you compile a Virtual Software Package (VSP), what happens depends on the type
of output you selected for the VSP as follows:
virtual software layer
virtual software project
file (.WVP)
See
About Virtual Software Package Formats
If the compile fails, a Compile Failed dialog box appears that lists the errors that were
found during compile. This includes any syntax errors in WiseScripts that you may have
added on the Events page.
If the output is a virtual software layer, any changes you make to the layer are saved
directly to the layer when you save or compile. If the output is .WVP file, any changes
you make to the project file are compiled into the .VRA when you compile.
