Creating Virtual Software Packages
Creating an Application Layer
Virtual Package Editor lets you create a Virtual Software Package (VSP) that is an
application layer. An application layer contains all the files and registry settings that
make up a virtualized application.
See
About Application Layers
on page 10.
You cannot use Virtual Package Editor to create a data layer or to add a data layer to an
application layer.
You can create a new application layer using the Installation Expert pages or capture an
existing application as an application layer. If you capture an existing application as an
application layer, you can then use Installation Expert pages to edit it. Whether you
create or capture an application layer, the output type can be either a virtual software
project file (.WVP) or a virtual software layer.
See
About Virtual Software Package Formats
on page 8.
