Specifying Whether a Dependency is Mandatory for a Target in 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 whether a dependency is mandatory in order for target in the primary package (the App-V package that you are editing in the Virtual Package Editor) to run properly. If the dependency is mandatory, the primary package cannot run without loading the required package. For example, a system DLL such as an MFC DLL is likely to be mandatory, but a reference to a document viewer such as Adobe Reader may not be mandatory.
To specify whether a dependency is mandatory for a target in your virtual package:
| 1. | In the View List under Package Information, click Dependencies. |
| 2. | In the Dependencies explorer, click the target that you want to configure. |
| 3. | In the Settings window, configure the Mandatory setting as needed. |
Tip:The Virtual Package Editor lets you configure the settings for more than one target at a time. To learn more, see Configuring the Value of a Setting for More Than One Item at a Time.
