Resolution

Manual Fix

You can ignore this ACE if one of the following is true:

•

This package is intended to be used as a dependency by a different App-V package through Dynamic Suite Composition. In this case, you need to edit the other App-V package in the Virtual Package Editor and select this App-V package as a dependency in the Dependencies view.

•

This package is intended to be used as a plug-in. In this case, you need to create a shortcut to the application for which this is a plug-in. Some common examples include Office and Internet Explorer.

If end users need to be able to launch this App-V package independently, consider opening the package in the Virtual Package Editor and adding a target to the App-V package if necessary (through the Shortcuts view), and then adding a shortcut to the target.
