Organizing Virtual Application Data

AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Virtual Package Editor

The primary objective of a virtual package is to keep the application layer and the operating system layer separate. Each application includes its own configuration information in its virtual environment. As a result, many applications can run side-by-side with other applications on the same computer without any conflicts.

The Virtual Package Editor lets you manage the folders and files that will be available in the virtual environment. It also lets you define registry keys, values, and data for your virtual package. In addition, you can use the Virtual Package Editor to define the targets for your virtual application, and define entry points such as shortcuts for each target. These entry points enable end users to launch an App-V application from within the virtual environment.
