About the Virtualization Assistant Tabs
Edition • The Microsoft App-V Assistant, ThinApp Assistant, and Citrix Assistant are included in the Virtualization
Pack.
When you create a new Basic MSI or MSI Database project, the Microsoft App-V, VMware ThinApp, and Citrix
XenApp tabs are displayed in the AdminStudio interface. The home page of each Assistant has a diagram that
illustrates the process of creating a virtual application using that technology.
You can work within these Assistants to create a project and configure its options and requirements. You can also
use the Project Assistant or the Installation Designer to define the traditional Windows Installer version of your
product installation.
