protected by WRP for Windows 7.

Support for Creating App-V Package Upgrades
InstallShield now has support for creating App-V package upgrades. The Package Information page in the
Microsoft App-V Assistant has a new Upgrade Settings link. Click this link to specify whether you want to create
an upgrade. If you specify that you do want to create an upgrade, you can specify additional information about the
upgrade, such as whether to append the version number to the App-V package file name. By default, App-V
package upgrades are not created.
Improved Batch Conversion Technology
AdminStudio's App-V batch conversion technology has been enhanced to include additional Windows Installer
configurations, resulting in more Windows Installer packages being successfully converted to App-V packages.
External Shortcut Support
AdminStudio now supports external shortcuts in App-V packages, which means that the target executable no
longer needs to be included in the package. External shortcuts are especially useful for plug-ins.
