Actions that you can perform on a virtual software layer
Description
Activates a virtual software layer that was installed on a
managed computer. When a layer is activated, its contents
become visible to the user. If the layer contains an
application, the application is fully functional.
Deactivates a virtual software layer that was installed on a
managed computer. When a layer is deactivated, it is hidden
from the user but is still on the computer.
If a process from the layer is running, this action fails unless
you also select an option to force the operation to complete.
Deactivates and deletes a virtual software layer that was
installed on a managed computer. Before you can delete
some applications, you must first deactivate them. For
example, you must deactivate Yahoo! Messenger before you
can delete it. This action is not available with a Software
Virtualization task.
Deletes a virtual software layer that was installed on a
managed computer. This action removes the layer and all
of its contents.
Imports (installs) a virtual software archive (VSA) file to a
managed computer and creates a new virtual software layer.
After you install the VSA file, you must activate the layer
to make it functional.
