You use Microsoft Application Virtualization for Desktops to virtualize applications for client
computers. A virtual application that was installed by using a Windows Installer Package (.msi) file
has become corrupted. You need to restore access to the virtual application. Which two actions
should you perform? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
A.
Reinstall the virtual application package.
B.
Use the Repair function in the Windows Installer Package. Use the Microsoft Application
Virtualization (App-V) to re-sequence the application.
C.
Use the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer to edit the virtual application
package.
D.
Reload the virtual application package.
Explanation:
1: RE-LOAD PACKAGE FROM Application Virtualization Client Management Console: How to Load or
Unload an Application You can use the following procedures to load or unload an application from
the cache, directly from the Results pane of the Application node in the Application Virtualization
Client Management Console. When you select this node, the Results pane displays a list of
applications. Note: When you load or unload a package, all the applications in the package are
loaded into or removed from cache When loading a package, if you do not have adequate space in
cache to load the applications, increase your cache size. For more information about cache size, see
How to Change the Cache Size and the Drive Letter Designation. http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/cc843823.aspx —— OR ——
2: Remove and Install an MSI-PACKAGE (which automatically re-load app-v package) Stand-Alone
Mode with MSI The App-V 4.5 Sequencer supports creating an MSI during the sequencing process.
This process does not have a formal publishing or streaming procedure. This MSI will contain the
ICO, OSD, and Manifest.xml files that are necessary for publishing the application on the machine it
is run from and how to import the SFT file into the App-V client cache. The package file (SFT) is not
part of the MSI that is generated during sequencing and will need to be in the same directory as the
MSI to successfully complete by default. In some scenarios it may be necessary to place the SFT files
at an alternate location like a file server. In this scenario the administrator could use the SFTPATHparameter to specify an alternate location of the SFT file. This would not require the SFT file to be in
the same directory as the MSI. In Standalone mode the package will be published and the SFT file
contents will be loaded into the client cache completely. The following command shows how to
install an MSI based package when the SFTFILE is located on a file server. Msiexec.exe /i
\\PathToMsi\packagename.msi SFTPATH=\\server\share\package.sft /q Streaming Mode with MSI
Another option is to use MSI based packages but choose to stream the SFT file contents from an
App-V Server, file server, or local file location. In this scenario the package will be published, but the
SFT file will be streamed to the App-V client cache. The process of streaming the SFT will be done by
default as part of the installation of the MSI, but could optionally be configured to happen when the
user launches the application the first time. Source: App-V Application Publishing and Client

Use the Repair function in the Windows Installer Package. Use the Microsoft Application
Virtualization (App-V) to re-sequence the application. – it is WRONG. Repair function of MSIpackage
not reload SFT-package. But you can choose Repair function of Client Management Console: How to
Repair an Application To repair a selected application, you can perform the following procedure
directly from the Results pane of the Application node in the Application Virtualization Client
Management Console. When you repair an application, you remove any custom user settings and
restore the default settings. This action does not change or delete shortcuts or file type associations,
and it does not remove the application from cache. http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/cc843802
—NOT—
Use the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer to edit the virtual application
package. – it is WRONG. Question about user’s side, not server’s side.
