Configuring the Isolation Setting for All of the Subkeys Under One or More Keys

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Virtual Package Editor

If your virtual package includes a registry key that has multiple subkeys whose Isolation setting should be configured with the same value, you can quickly change the value of the Isolation setting for all of that key’s subkeys simultaneously.

You can also quickly configure the Isolation setting for all of the subkeys that belong to multiple parent keys.

To configure the Isolation setting for all of the subkeys under one or more keys:

In the View List under Application Data, click Registry.

In the Registry explorer, click the registry key that you want to configure.

If you want to configure the Isolation setting for all of the subkeys under multiple parent keys, select all of the applicable parent keys. To select multiple consecutive keys, select the first registry key, press and hold SHIFT, and select the last key. To select multiple nonconsecutive keys, select one key, press and hold CTRL, and select each additional key.

Right-click the selected key or keys and then click the appropriate command:

•

Override Child Keys—If you want to select Override for the Isolation setting of each subkey under the selected keys, select this option.

The App-V application sees the registry content that is inside the App-V package for this key and all subkeys. Thus, the application does not see any registry content from the physical client system.

•

Merge Child Keys—If you want to select Merge for the Isolation setting of each subkey under the selected keys, select this option.

The App-V application sees a merged view of the registry content inside the App-V package and of the registry content on the physical client system. If the registry key has subkeys on the physical client system but not in the App-V package, these keys are merged into the registry view that is available to the App-V application. However, registry values that are on the physical client system and that are in registry keys that also exist in the App-V package are not merged into the App-V application’s registry view.
