Virtual Package Association Dialog Box

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager

You can choose to use the Associate Package function in Application Manager to manually associate a virtual package with its source Windows Installer package after both packages have been imported into the Application Catalog.

If you right-click on a virtual package in the Application Catalog tree and then select Associate Package from the shortcut menu, the Virtual Package Association dialog box opens, listing all of the Windows Installer packages in the Application Catalog. Select the virtual package’s source Windows Installer package and click OK. The Windows Installer package will now be listed in the Associations field on the Package Information tab of the Home Deployment Type View for the virtual package.

Important:After you have imported a virtual package into the Application Catalog, you can use the Associate Package function to associate it with any Windows Installer package in the Application Catalog, even one that is not its source package. Therefore, it is preferable to use the Import Wizard to import both the Windows Installer and virtual packages at the same time so that AdminStudio can create the proper associations.
