UILDING FROM THE COMMAND LINE
ZENworks Application Virtualization can optionally be executed from the command line. This is
particularly useful for building virtual applications as part of an automated build process.
The command line version of ZENworks Application Virtualization is called XStudio.exe and can
be found in the ZENworks Application Virtualization installation directory. To build a virtual
application from the command line, execute XStudio Configuration.xappl from the command
prompt, where Configuration.xappl is the name of the ZENworks Application Virtualization
project created using the graphical interface.
Options specified in the configuration file may be overridden with the command-line flags given
in the following table.
Option
/before [/beforepath Snapshot
Path]
/after [/beforepath Snapshot
Path] [/o Output Path]
/component or /layer
/d
/l License file
/uncompressed
/deletesandbox
/isolatecom
Note: Snapshots generated from the command-line using the /after flag will not have an output
path specified. When using programmatic snapshotting, it is strongly recommended that additional
scripting be performed to apply necessary additional configuration to the generated XAPPL file.

Description
Performs a before snapshot and saves the snapshot to the
optionally specified snapshot folder. If no snapshot folder is
specified, the default snapshot folder is used.
Performs an after snapshot using the optionally specified
before snapshot path. If no before snapshot path is specified,
the default snapshot folder is used. The output XAPPL and
snapshot files are saved to the optionally specified output
path. If no output path is specified, the output XAPPL and
snapshot files are saved to the current user's desktop.
Forces the output type to component. This mode causes a
SVM file to be generated.
Forces a diagnostic-mode output to be generated.
Applies the specified license file.
Results in an uncompressed payload (payloads are
compressed by default). This option overrides the selection
in the Configuration.xappl file.
Forces the virtual application to delete the sandbox on
application shutdown.
Imports COM registration information from the host registry
into the Configuration.xappl file based on any DLL or OSX
files in the file system. Note that this process is supplemental
to the snapshot process and would only be used in cases
where the original snapshot is incomplete.
E.g. XStudio.exe Configuration.xappl /isolatecom
