Description
To build an installation package with your App-V application, select this check box.
This check box is not selected by default. If you do select this check box, you can
specify whether you want to load the installation package from the media location or
from the shared location.
Building an installation package enables you or your end users to use enterprise
distribution tools such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Novell
ZENworks Configuration Management to distribute your App-V application.
When you run this Windows Installer file, the minimally required App-V application files
will be "installed" in the local App-V client system cache. (The .sft file remains on the
App-V server until the client requests that it be downloaded when the application is
launched for the first time.)
Note • The App-V client must be installed on the local machine before you can install an App-V
application. The installation will detect and warn if the App-V client is not available, and the
installation will fail.
To remove an installed App-V application, you need to use the Application
Virtualization Client tool, which is available in the Administrative Tools of the Windows
Control Panel.
To load the installation package from the media location, select this option. If you
select this option, the following check boxes are available for selection:
•
Compress—To build a compressed installation package, select this check box. If
this check box is cleared, an uncompressed installation package is built.
•
App-V Client Prerequisite (Generates
AdminStudio prerequisite that installs the App-V client on the target system, select
this check box. Note that a Setup.exe setup launcher is required if the
AdminStudio prerequisite needs to be included in the release.
To load the installation package from the shared location, select this check box.
To use the App-V application test launcher to locally test a newly built App-V
application before moving it to a deployment server, select this check box. For more
information, see Testing an App-V Application Using the App-V Application
