Modifying Shortcuts to the App-V Package’s Executable Files

InstallShield 2022 » Microsoft App-V Assistant

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

You define application shortcuts to enable end users to launch an App-V package from within the virtual environment.

By default, the Microsoft App-V Assistant creates App-V packages for all of the executable shortcuts that exist in your project (or Windows Installer package). These shortcuts are listed in a checklist on the Applications page.

Caution:You must define at least one shortcut to enable end users to launch the application from the isolation environment.

On the Applications page, you can create, delete, include, exclude, or rename executable files, which are derived from the shortcuts in its Windows Installer package.
