Setting an App-V Package's VFS Options
AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Automated Application Converter
You can use the All Files in VFS property to specify whether the App-V package’s files should exist in Windows retargetable folders within the virtual file system (VFS) folder of the App-V package.
To set an App-V package’s VFS options:
| 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 (All Versions), set the All Files in VFS property to one of the following options: |
| • | Disabled—All of the files that correspond with the main installation directory of the application will be put in the root folder of the App-V package’s file system. This method adheres to Microsoft App-V best practices. This is the default setting. |
| • | Enabled—All of the files in the package will be put into Windows retargetable folders within the VFS (virtual file system) folder of the App-V package. This option overrides the effect of specifying a value for Primary Application Directory. |
Note:This option is generally not recommended, but there may be applications for which it is necessary. For example, if a virtualized application does not work as expected, and if it is possible that the application cannot find one of its files because it is searching in a hard-coded path, you may want to select the Enabled option.
