AdminStudio 10.0 SP1 Release Notes ADM-1000-RNSP1 15

Release Notes

Tip • Packages are automatically tested for virtualization readiness during import into the Application

Catalog or when you upgrade an existing Application Catalog. To manually retest a package or group of

packages for virtualization readiness, select a package, application, or group in the Application Manager

tree and select Run Virtualization Readiness from the context menu.

Virtualization Suitability Issues

AdminStudio uses the following set of tests to determine if a Windows Installer package is a suitable

candidate for virtualization to Microsoft App-V, VMware ThinApp, or Citrix XenApp formats.

Table 2-1 • Virtualization Suitability Issues

Rule Description

Generic Package is not a valid Windows Installer package.

Usually this issue is found in legacy installations that require repackaging. In

rare cases, it could also be found in a Windows Installer (

.msi) package which

has become corrupted. However since the contents are not known, this

package has not been analyzed for virtualization suitability.

No Shortcut Package contains no shortcuts.

• App-V suitability—For conversion to App-V packages, this issue is

acceptable in some scenarios, such as packages which provide

dependencies to others which dynamically suite it. However, if this

package merely provides a plug-in to another application, it must contain

a shortcut to launch that application in this package’s virtual context.

• ThinApp and XenApp suitability—For conversion to ThinApp and

XenApp formats, shortcuts are necessary to define the entry point into the

virtual application.

One potential resolution to this issue is to use InstallShield Editor to add

shortcut(s) to the Windows Installer package.

ClickOnce Package contains a ClickOnce application.

ClickOnce is a per-user installation format which is often incompatible with the

per-machine nature of virtual package deployment. A ClickOnce application

also may try to automatically update itself, which results in invalid versioning in

the application virtualization client.

Shell Extension Package contains a shell extension.

Shell extensions extend Windows Explorer and cannot be loaded from a

virtual package. This extension may be critical to the use of this application,

and, if so, this application will not function when virtualized. However, if this

extension is non-critical, this application may function when virtualized.
