On the File menu, click Open.
Press CTRL+O.
On the toolbar, click the Open button.
On the Start Page in the Package Tasks area, click the Open an Existing Package link.

The Open dialog box opens.

2. Browse to the virtual package (.appv or .sft), and then click the Open button.

The Virtual Package Editor opens the virtual package, enabling you to edit it as needed.

Tip:As an alternative, you can open a recently opened virtual package. To do so, perform one of the following tasks:

On the Start Page in the Package Tasks area, click the Open an Existing Package link.
On the File menu, click a recently opened .appv or .sft file name.

You can also open a virtual package from within Application Manager: On the Products tab, right-click an existing App-V package that you want to open, and then click Edit with Virtual Package Editor. Application Manager lets you check out the file. When you save the virtual package in the Virtual Package Editor, your changes are saved in a temporary location. The version that is stored in Application Manager is updated when you check your changes in to the Application Manager.
