The task or policy installs and manages the layer by running a command line that

See “Actions that you can perform on a virtual software layer” on page 223.
Table 16-4 Methods for installing and managing virtual software
Description Method
Lets you install a virtual software archive (VSA) file to a managed computer and
create a new virtual software layer. It also lets you manage any virtual software layer
regardless of how the layer was created. Each action requires a separate task, including
the installation.
You can also add a Software Virtualization task to a job or a Managed Software
Delivery policy to perform more complex management tasks.
See “Installing and managing a virtual software layer with a Software Virtualization
task” on page 225.
Software Virtualization task
Lets you install a virtual software archive (VSA) file to a managed computer and
create a new virtual software layer. It also lets you manage a virtual software layer
that was created by installing a virtual software archive file. Each action requires a
separate task, including the installation.
You can also create a Quick Delivery task or a Package Delivery task and add it to a
Managed Software Delivery policy.
See “Installing and managing a virtual software layer with a Quick Delivery or Package
Delivery task” on page 228.
Quick Delivery task
Package Delivery task
Lets you perform more complex management tasks. A Managed Software Delivery
policy can create and manage new virtual software layers and it can manage existing
layers.
See “Installing and managing a virtual software layer with a Managed Software
Delivery policy” on page 230.
You can manage multiple virtual software layers at the same time. For example, you
can create a policy that installs a new version of an application into a layer and then
deactivates the earlier version. To do so, you can add multiple Software Virtualization
tasks, Quick Delivery tasks, or Package Delivery tasks to a Managed Software Delivery
policy.
See “Delivering multiple software resources and tasks sequentially” on page 126.
If you need to manage a single virtual software layer, we recommend that you use
one of the other methods.
