Adding a Dependency to a Virtual Package

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Virtual Package Editor

Version:This information applies to App-V 4.x packages.

The Virtual Package Editor lets you specify other App-V packages that the open App-V package (the primary package) requires.

To add a dependency to your virtual package:

1. In the View List under Package Information, click Dependencies.
2. Right-click the Dependencies explorer and then click Add Dependency. The Open dialog box opens.
3. Browse to the .sft or .osd file for the required App-V package, and then click Open.

The Virtual Package Editor adds an .sft item to the Dependencies explorer. The .sft item may contain one or more targets. The targets are defined in the Shortcuts view of the primary package.

When a target with an associated dependency is launched, the Application Virtualization Client loads the dependency’s environment and makes it available as part of the virtual environment of the target’s package.
