Chapter 10: Creating Customized Virtual Applications
Creating Microsoft App-V Applications
The files in an App-V application can be grouped into two feature blocks:
• Feature block
necessary to launch the application. At application launch, all of the files in feature block 1 are streamed to the
client in one unit.
• Feature block
necessary to launch the application. While the App-V application is being used, the files in feature block 2 can
be streamed in small packets on an as-needed basis.
You can either choose to include all App-V application files in feature block 1 or, to improve launch speed, you can
choose to group the files into two feature blocks: feature block 1 and feature block 2.
The Package Optimizations dialog box includes the following options:

Description
If you choose this option, the App-V Assistant will perform a static analysis of the shortcuts in
the application and decide which files should be in feature block 1 and which should be in
feature block 2.
This option provides a relatively quick launch time while limiting network traffic during
application use.
Note • When application files are streamed to a client either at launch or during application use, they
are saved in the App-V cache and do not need to be streamed again during subsequent use of the
application.
If you choose this option, all files in the App-V application will be included in feature block 1
and will be streamed to the client at start up in one file before the application launches. After
that, no more streaming is done. All files are stored in the App-V cache, which means that
the application is available for use even when the machine is not connected to the App-V
server.
Select this option if you want to enable users to use the App-V application when not
connected to the App-V server and if you want to eliminate network traffic when the App-V
application is being used.
Note • When application files are streamed to a client either at launch or during application use, they
are saved in the App-V cache and do not need to be streamed again during subsequent application use.
