About Virtual Software Package Archive Types
A Virtual Software Package (VSP) archive file is a portable package that lets you
distribute your VSP to others. In Virtual Package Editor, a VSP’s archive type is displayed
on the Product Details page.
The following are the VSP archive types:
virtual software project
file (.WVP)
A .WVP file provides much more functionality than a virtual
software layer and lets you do the following that you
cannot do with a virtual software layer:
z
Compile it into a .VRA file that can be distributed to
end users.
z
Create a release for the archive file on the Releases
page.
See
Releases Page
on page 31.
z
Add WiseScripts on the Events page to enhance its
functionality.
See
Events Page
on page 29.
z
Maintain source path locations.
z
Avoid capturing information that is specific to the
computer where the layer is created (example: user-
specific SID data).
Specify this format as your output type when you create a
VSP to distribute to other users.
virtual runtime archive
file (.VRA)
A .VRA file is generated when you compile a .WVP file or
when you export a virtual software layer from the Altiris
SVS applet. A .VRA file is portable and can be distributed to
end users. Before you distribute a .VRA file, use the
Releases page in Virtual Package Editor to create a release
for the archive file.
See
Releases Page
on page 31.
virtual software archive
file (.VSA)
In Wise Installation Studio 7.0 SP1 or later, you cannot
create .VSA files with Virtual Package Editor. If you open a
.VSA, you are prompted to convert it to a .VRA file.
virtual software archive
file (.VSA)
A .VSA file requires a licensed version of the SVS Driver
(Software Virtualization Agent) on the computer where it is
imported.
You can only create .VSAs in Wise Package Studio 7.0 and
later and Wise Installation Studio 7.0.
