Importing a Virtual Package Without Its Source Windows Installer
Package
You can import a virtual package into the Application Catalog even if you have not yet imported its source Windows
Installer package. If you then import the virtual package’s source Windows Installer package at a later date, you
can use the
Associate Package
function in Application Manager to manually associate them.
Task:
To import a virtual package by itself:
1.
Open Application Manager.
2.
Connect to your chosen Application Catalog.
3.
On the
Catalog
menu, select
Import Package
. The Welcome panel of the
Import Wizard
opens.
4.
Click
Next
. The
File Selection
panel opens.
5.
Click
Browse
and select the virtual package that you want to import:
•
Microsoft App-V application
—Select the App-V file with an
.osd
extension, such as
MyApp.osd
.
•
VMware ThinApp application
—Select the ThinApp file with an
.exe
extension, such as
MyApp.exe
.
•
Citrix profile
—Select the Citrix file with a
.profile
extension, such as
MyApp.profile
.
6.
Click
Next
. The
Summary
panel opens.
7.
Click
Finish
to begin the import. The virtual package is imported and it will not have an association to a
Windows Installer package in the Application Catalog.
Manually Associating a Virtual Package with a Windows Installer Package
You can use the Import Wizard to import a virtual package directly into the Application Catalog even if you have not
yet imported its source Windows Installer package. If you then import the virtual package’s source Windows
Installer package at a later date, you can use the
Associate Package
function in Application Manager to manually
associate the virtual package with its source package.
Caution •
After you have imported a virtual package into the Application Catalog, you are permitted to use the
Associate Package
function to associate it with
any
Windows Installer package in the Application Catalog, even
one that is not its source package. Therefore, it is preferable to use the Import Wizard to import both the Windows
Installer and virtual packages at the same time so that AdminStudio can create the proper associations.
