Enabling Dynamic Suiting for an App-V 4.x Package
AdminStudio 2021 | 21.0 | Automated Application Converter
You can use the Dynamic Suites property to enable dynamic suiting for an App-V package.
The point of application virtualization is to minimize the system dependencies that an application has on the underlying physical system. Many applications have common system dependencies on plug-ins or middleware, such as Adobe Reader or ODBC drivers.
Dynamic Suite Composition (DSC) is a Microsoft Application Virtualization feature that enables applications to be virtualized separately from the plug-ins and middleware applications that they rely on, while still enabling them to communicate with those plug-ins and middleware applications within the virtual environment. The primary App-V package and the dependency App-V packages in the dynamic suite will run and interact with one another as if they were all installed locally on a computer. You would only need to deploy common system components once on each client, making them available for use by many App-V packages, rather than to include them with each of the App-V packages that are dependent upon them. This reduces redundancy in the local App-V cache and simplifies the construction and testing of the primary App-V packages.
To enable dynamic suiting for an App-V package, perform the following steps:
To enable dynamic suiting:
| 1. | On the Packages tab, select the package you want to edit. Package properties are displayed in the Properties window. |
| 2. | In the Properties window, under Microsoft App-V Options (Version 4.x), locate the Dynamic Suites property and enter a semicolon-delimited list of OSD or SFT files to be dynamically suited with this package, or click the ellipsis button (...) and select the OSD or SFT files to be suited. If a file must be present for this package to work properly, append the following to the file name: |
