PECIFYING A STARTUP FILE
The virtual filesystem may contain a large number of executable files (such as .exe, .cmd, and
.java) and viewable file formats (such as .html and .swf). However, your virtual application is
consolidated into a single executable. It is therefore necessary for the virtual application designer
to indicate a startup file- the executable or viewable file which is opened when the user executes
the virtual application.
A startup file should be specified after the application has been installed and configured with
runtimes, and the "After" snapshot has been taken.
To select the startup file:
•
Click on the Virtual Application tab on the ribbon bar.
•
Click on the Startup File dropdown list. This displays a list of all files in the virtual
filesystem.
•
Select the file to be used as the startup file, or navigate to the desired startup file in the
virtual filesystem display, right-click the file, and select Set as Startup File.
Files located on the host device (outside of the virtual filesystem) may also be used as startup
files. To select a file on the host device as the startup file, enter the full path to the desired startup
file in the Startup File text box. Remember to use well-known root folder variables such as
@WINDIR@ and @PROGRAMFILES@ as the root of the full path to ensure that the startup
file can be properly located on all base operating systems.
Note: While any file can be selected as the startup file, you should only select a file which is
executable or viewable. Selecting a file which cannot be opened will cause an error when the
virtual application is started.
