Setting App-V Package Registry Isolation Options

InstallShield 2018 » Microsoft App-V Assistant

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

The Microsoft App-V Assistant enables you to configure isolation options for a registry key.

Important • Although you cannot explicitly set an isolation option for a registry value, registry values are subject to the isolation options of their keys.

To configure an isolation option for a registry key:

1. In the Microsoft App-V Assistant, open the Registry page.
2. Right-click the key that you would like to configure and then click Isolation Options. The Options dialog box opens.
3. Select one of the following options:
Merge with local key—The App-V package sees a merged view of the registry entries for the selected key from both the local registry and from the App-V package’s registry.
Override local key—The App-V package sees only the registry entries for the selected key that are part of that App-V package.
4. Click OK.

Registry keys that have an override isolation option are marked with a special icon.

Tip • To launch the Registry Import Wizard and import an existing registry (.reg) file, click the Import a .reg file option in the More Options area on the Registry page.
