App-V Packages and the Virtual Environment

InstallShield 2015 » Microsoft App-V Assistant

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

Shortcuts provide the most visible entry points for launching the applications in the App-V package. Most App-V packages should have at least one shortcut.

On the Applications page of the Microsoft App-V Assistant, you can define application shortcuts to enable end users to launch an application in the App-V package. The Microsoft App-V Assistant creates shortcuts for any executable files that are added through the Files page. All shortcuts are added to the App-V package and published to the system when the package is published.

To deploy an App-V package—on a local drive or a network share—systems administrators simply need to give end users access to the App-V package.
