Inheritance of Isolation Options from Folders to Files

InstallShield 2015 » Microsoft App-V Assistant

Edition: The Microsoft App-V Assistant is included in the Virtualization Pack.

Isolation options for files and folders are always inherited. The App-V isolation environment will apply the most specific reference to that resource.

For example, suppose you have an isolation option for C:\Windows and one for C:\Windows\System32. When the application requests C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe, then the C:\Windows\System32 isolation rule will be applied because C:\Windows\System32 is a more specific reference to C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe than is C:\Windows.
