App-V Applications and the Virtual Environment
On the
Applications
page of the Microsoft App-V Assistant, you define application shortcuts to enable users to
launch an App-V application from within the virtual environment. By default, the Microsoft App-V Assistant creates
App-V applications for all of the executable shortcuts that exist in your project.
To deploy an App-V application—on a local drive or a network share—systems administrators just need to give
users access to the App-V application.
App-V Shortcut Requirements
For each App-V application, you are required to define
at least one
shortcut. You define application shortcuts to
enable users to launch an App-V application from within the virtual environment. By default, the Microsoft App-V
Assistant creates App-V applications for all of the executable shortcuts that exist in your project (or Windows
Installer package).
If you build an App-V application that does not contain any shortcuts, users will not be able to launch the
application.
Creating a New App-V Application
On the
Applications
page of the Microsoft App-V Assistant, you specify the executables that you want to create
App-V applications for.
