4.
Select one of the following:
•
One of the .osd files
—If this dependency App-V application is or is going to be published on a Server,
select any one of the
.osd
files that are listed. If these
.osd
files were created properly, each of them
should contain the information that will identify to the primary App-V application the published location of
the dependency App-V application.
Note •
It is not necessary to select more than one .
osd
file. All of them contain the same reference to the
location of the dependency App-V application’s .
sft
file, which is the only reference that is necessary in
order for the primary App-V application to locate it.
•
The .sft file
—If this dependency App-V application is or is going to be published locally on the client or at
an accessible network location, you may select just the
.sft
file.
The selected App-V application is now listed in the
Dependency Applications
list and, by default, the
Mandatory
option is selected.
5.
Set the status of the selected App-V application by doing one of the following:
•
If the dependency App-V application is mandatory
—If the primary App-V application will not run
unless it can locate this dependency App-V application, leave the
Mandatory
option selected. If a
dependency App-V application that is configured as mandatory is not available, an error will be generated
when someone attempts to run the primary App-V application.
•
If the dependency App-V application is not mandatory
—If the primary App-V application will run
even if it cannot locate this dependency App-V application, clear the
Mandatory
option.
6.
Build the primary App-V application.
Deleting a Dependency Application from the List
To remove an App-V application from the Dependency Applications list, select the application and click the Delete
(
) button.
Modifying Build Options
On the Build Options page, you choose which releases of this InstallShield project you want to build an App-V
application for when the project is built, and specify whether you want to include additional Windows Installer
packages in the virtual package.
Also, if you are editing a Windows Installer package in Direct Edit mode (or Direct MST mode), you need to select
the
Build App-V application
option on the Build Options page before you will be able to build an App-V
application for that Windows Installer package.
Important •
You must create at least one Release (on the Releases view of the Installation Designer) before you
will be able to select a Release on the Build Options page.
