Description
Identifies this task in any list of tasks throughout the
product.
Because the description does not always appear, make the
name descriptive enough for other administrators to easily
identify this task.
Lets you type a description to further identify this task and
make it more recognizable.
Do not include critical information in the description
because it is not intended to appear in all the lists that
contain the name.
Lets you select the command for the action you want to
perform.
See "Actions that you can perform on a virtual software
layer" on page 223.
Lets you define the layer on which to perform the command.
Type the name of the layer exactly as it appears on the
managed computer. The name is not case sensitive.
Lets you specify the virtual software archive (VSA) file to
import.
You must type the full path and name of the .VSA file as it
appears on the managed computer. You can use a UNC path.
This option is enabled for the Import command only.
See "About virtual software archive files"
Lets you force the task to run when it might otherwise fail.
For example, a Software Virtualization task fails if a process
from the layer is running on the client computer. When you
install a layer, if the layer is already on the client computer
and you do not check this check box, the task fails. If you
check this check box, the task proceeds and replaces the
existing layer with the new layer.
