Virtual Package Editor is a complete and user-friendly tool for creating and editing a
Virtual Software Package (VSP) that you can distribute to end users. Software
virtualization is a revolutionary approach to software management that lets you package
applications and data into managed units that can be installed as virtual layers. When
you create a VSP for your application, the end user can install it like any other
application without any special license.
To create a VSP, you normally use the various Installation Expert pages in Virtual
Package Editor. However, to virtualize an existing application, you can use the
SetupCapture tool that is available in Virtual Package Editor to capture it as a VSP.
Virtual Package Editor is included with the following products:
Wise Installation Studio
Wise Package Studio Professional
To use Virtual Package Editor, you must have the SVS Driver (Software Virtualization
Agent) installed. This driver is downloaded and installed when you install Wise
Installation Studio.
We recommend that before you use Virtual Package Editor, you become familiar with
Software Virtualization Solution.
For more information about Software Virtualization Solution (SVS), search for
Workspace Virtualization on the symantec.com Web site.
