Primary Application Directory Dialog Box
When App-V applications are run on a machine that has Microsoft Virtualization Client installed, they are run from
the Client’s application virtual drive.
For optimum performance, it is desirable to have the bulk of the application’s files mounted to this drive at run-time.
In order to achieve this, it is useful to determine an application’s primary application directory so that folder can be
mounted to the App-V Client’s application virtual drive when the App-V application is loaded.
The InstallShield Microsoft App-V Assistant uses a series of steps to determine an App-V application’s default
primary application directory (as described in
Determining the Default Primary Application Directory
).
However, you can specify the primary application directory for an App-V application on the
Primary Application
Directory
dialog box, which is opened by clicking
Primary Application Directory
in the
More Options
list on
the
Files
page.
The
Primary Application Directory
dialog box displays the current primary application directory setting (if one
has already been specified).

When you click the browse (
) button, the
Browse for Directory
dialog box opens, listing all of the currently
available destination directories for this App-V application. Select one of the listed directories and click
OK
.
Determining the Default Primary Application Directory
When an App-V application is built using InstallShield or any AdminStudio tool, the following series of steps are
used to determine an App-V application’s primary application directory:
