EPLOYING VIRTUAL APPLICATIONS USING
Novell allows virtual applications and components to be deployed using legacy MSI setup
package technology.
5.6.1
Create MSI setup packages directly within ZENworks Application
Virtualization
ZENworks Application Virtualization can be used to create standalone MSI packages directly
within the ZENworks Application Virtualization environment. Generated MSI setup packages can
include Start Menu items, desktop shortcuts, file associations, and other custom shell integration
behaviors.
Deployment using generated MSI packages is appropriate in situations where existing MSI
package deployment mechanisms are in place, or for deploying applications with shell integration
without the SpoonReg Virtual Desktop client tool.
Virtual application and component shell integration settings are shared between MSI- and Virtual
Desktop-based deployment, enabling easy migration between deployment models.
Refer to the section "Building MSI setup packages" for more information on the creation of MSI
setup packages.
5.6.2
Deploy virtual applications into legacy MSI setup packages
ZENworks Application Virtualization also supports deployment of virtual application executables
into legacy MSI setup packages.
5.6.3
Import legacy MSI setup packages
ZENworks Application Virtualization supports one-click import of legacy MSI setup packages
into the ZENworks Application Virtualization environment. Following import, the application can
be customized and deployed as a Novell-based virtual application or SVM.
