Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization
By default, registration will create a local cached copy of the virtual application executable and
use the user's local profile as the sandbox location.
Note: The sandbox location specified during the virtual application build is ignored when
registering applications using the SpoonReg tool.
6.2.5
Advanced registration options
Command-line parameters can be used to control the caching behavior and sandbox where the
virtual application should be registered:
SpoonReg.exe [Options] AppSpec[@SandboxSpec]
Parameter
Behavior
/nocache
The virtual application executable will not be copied to the client machine. All
shortcuts and file associations will point to the full path as given by
AppSpec
.
SandboxSpec
This parameter refers to the name and path to an existing sandbox. If this
parameter is specified and a sandbox with that name exists, the application will
be registered into that sandbox. (See the “Sandbox management”
topic in this
section for additional details.)
6.2.6
Updating registration settings
Application registration settings can be changed by re-executing the registration command with
the desired options:
SpoonReg.exe [Option] AppSpec[@SandboxSpec]
Parameter
Behavior
/nocache
Disable caching of the specified application (reverses the
/cache
setting)
/cache
Enable caching of the specified application (reverses the
/nocache
setting)
6.2.7
Unregistering a virtual application
Unregistering a virtual application reverses the registration process, removing the virtual
application, Start Menu icons, shortcuts, and file associations.
To unregister a virtual application, use the following command:
SpoonReg.exe /unregister AppSpec[@SandboxSpec]
It is also possible to unregister all applications with the single command:
SpoonReg.exe /unregisterall
