Altiris® Software Virtualization™ Solution (SVS™) is a revolutionary approach to
software management. SVS places applications and data into managed units called
virtual software packages. You can use SVS to activate, deactivate, or reset applications
to avoid conflicts between applications without altering the base Windows installation.
The SVS Admin Utility is a part of SVS. It creates, imports, and manages virtual
software layers, which are part of the packages. For information on installing and using
the SVS Admin Utility, see the Software Virtualization Solution Reference Guide.
For information on the integration of the SVS Admin Utility with Deployment Solution,
