DRAG DROP
You manage applications that are deployed with Microsoft Application Visualization (App-V). A
software vendor has released a new plug-in for a sequenced application. You need to update the
parent application with the new plug-in. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To
answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them
in the correct order.)
Explanation:
Box 1:
Launch the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer.
Box 2:Open the application for upgrade. Install the plug-in.
Box 3:
Save the package as a new package. How to Upgrade an Existing Virtual Application
You can upgrade an existing virtual application to a new version by using the Application
Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer. The upgrade process is similar to creating a new virtual
application. You must open the existing virtual application for an upgrade, make the necessary
updates, and then save the updated virtual application to a new location in the package root
directory. You can also use the App-V Sequencer Console to make changes to an existing virtual
application without performing an upgrade. However, you cannot make modifications to the virtual
application’s file system by using this method because the App-V Sequencer does not actually
decode the associated .sft file. For example; you can open an existing virtual application in the App-V
Sequencer Console by selecting Open on the File menu. You can update the Package Name and the
associated Comments, and you can make changes to the virtual file system and virtual registry. You
can also create a Windows Installer file. To upgrade an existing virtual application
1. To start the App-V Sequencer Console, on the computer running the App-V Sequencer, select
Start/Programs/Microsoft Application Virtualization/Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer.
2. To open the existing virtual application, in the App-V Console, select File/Open for Package
Upgrade. Use the Open For Package Upgrade dialog box to locate the associated SPRJ file you want
to open for upgrade.
3. To specify the location of where the package will be decoded, click Browse For Folder and specify
the Q:\. This is the location where the package root directory will be created as specified in the
associated SFT file.
When you create the updated version of the package, it will be denoted with a sequential addition
to the directory name—for example, “.1” will be added to the directory name located on the Q:\
drive.
4. To open the Sequencing Wizard, select Tools/Sequencing Wizard. On the Package Information
page, optionally specify the new Package Name and add optional comments that will be associated
with the updated virtual application. Click Next.
5. On the Monitor Installation page, to begin monitoring the new installation, click Begin Monitoring.
After the virtual environment has finished loading, install the updated version of the application, or
apply updates to the existing application. After you have finished updating the virtual application,
click Stop Monitoring, and then click Next.
6. On the Additional Files to Map to Virtual File System (VFS) page, to specify additional files to be
added to the Virtual File System (VFS), click Add. Browse to the file you want to add, and click Open.
To clear existing files that have been added, click Reset, and then click Next.
7. On the Configure Applications page, configure the shortcuts and file type associations that will be
associated with the updated virtual application. Select the element you want to update, and then
click Edit Locations. Specify the configurations in the Shortcut Locations dialog box, and then click
Next.
8. On the Launch Applications page, to start the application to ensure that the package is optimized
for streaming, select the package and click Launch. This step is useful for configuring how the
application initially runs on target computers and for accepting any associated license agreements
before the package is made available to clients. If there are multiple applications associated with this
package, you can select Launch All to open all of the applications. To sequence the new version of
the virtual application, click Next.
9. To finish and to close the Sequencing Wizard, on the Sequence Package page, click Finish.
10.After you have successfully updated the virtual application, to save the package, in the App-V
Sequencer Console, on the File menu, select Save. The virtual application can be accessed in thedirectory specified in step 3. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc817189 Expand the
parent package to the local system and select the .sprj file. Install the plug-in. – We do not need to
expand something.
Save the package as a new package by using a package accelerator. – MS doesn’t mention about
“accelerators”.
