Creating Microsoft App-V Packages

InstallShield 2016 » Microsoft App-V Assistant

Edition • The Microsoft App-V Assistant is included in the Premier Edition of InstallShield.

Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) enables you to deploy applications to end users without requiring the applications to be installed locally. Instead, only the App-V client needs to be installed on the client machines. Even though these virtual applications are never installed, they can communicate with the local operating system, middleware, plug-ins, and other applications. Using App-V enables you to centralize the deployment of applications and reduce application-to-application conflicts.

Information about Microsoft App-V and creating Microsoft App-V packages is presented in the following sections:
