About Virtual Package Editor

Virtual Package Editor is a complete and user-friendly tool for creating and editing a

Virtual Software Package (VSP) that you can distribute to end users. Software

virtualization is a revolutionary approach to software management that lets you package

applications and data into managed units that can be installed as virtual layers. When

you create a VSP for your application, the end user can install it like any other

application without any special license.

To create a VSP, you normally use the various Installation Expert pages in Virtual

Package Editor. However, to virtualize an existing application, you can use the

SetupCapture tool that is available in Virtual Package Editor to capture it as a VSP.

Virtual Package Editor is included with the following products:

zWise Installation Studio

zWise Package Studio Professional

To use Virtual Package Editor, you must have the SVS Driver (Software Virtualization

Agent) installed. This driver is downloaded and installed when you install Wise

Installation Studio.

We recommend that before you use Virtual Package Editor, you become familiar with

Software Virtualization Solution.

For more information about Software Virtualization Solution (SVS), search for

Workspace Virtualization on the symantec.com Web site.

About Virtual Software Packages

A Virtual Software Package (VSP) contains files and registry keys like any other software

package. However, these files and registry keys are installed to a special area on the

hard drive. After the VSP is activated by the SVS Driver (Software Virtualization Agent),

the application becomes visible along with its files, directories, and settings. To the end

user, the virtualized application looks and behaves like any other application.

You create VSPs with Virtual Package Editor. In Windows Installer Editor, you can also

create a WiseScript wrapper that installs an .MSI into an SVS layer. In either case, the

VSP can be installed on a computer along with the SVS Driver runtime (an unlicensed

version of the driver).

See About the Installation of an .MSI into an SVS Layer on page 219.

The following are some of the benefits of creating VSPs:

zEnd users can easily and instantly repair your application if it is broken.

See About User Maintenance of Virtual Software Packages on page 11.

zYour applications will not conflict with any other applications on the end user’s

computer and will not change the base Windows installation.

zEnd users will be able to install more than one version of your application on their

computer at the same time.

About Virtual Software Package Formats

A Virtual Software Package (VSP) can be in one of the following formats:

virtual software layer A virtual software layer is the native SVS layer component.

When the output is a virtual software layer, the layer

appears in the Altiris SVS applet as soon as it is created.

Specify this format as your output type when you create a

VSP to use locally on your computer.

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:

zCompile it into a .VRA file that can be distributed to

end users.

zCreate a release for the archive file on the Releases

page.

See Releases Page on page 31.

zAdd WiseScripts on the Events page to enhance its

functionality.

See Events Page on page 29.

zMaintain source path locations.

zAvoid 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.

Wise Virtual Package Editor Reference 10

Introducing Wise Virtual Package Editor

In Virtual Package Editor, when you open an archive file that is not supported by that

edition of the editor, you are asked to convert it to a supported archive type. To save

changes to an archive file, you must first convert it to a supported format.

See Opening a Virtual Software Package on page 19.

About Application Layers

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.

Warning

When you create a VSP, be sure to set exclusions on the Exclusions page in Virtual

Package Editor. Exclusions prevent the loss of user data when a layer is reset.

See Exclusions Page on page 28.

Typically, one layer is created for each application. However, one layer can contain

multiple applications. Each layer is managed as a single entity.

You can create an application layer in the following ways:

zUse the SetupCapture tool to capture an existing application and use Installation

Expert to edit the package.

zUse the Installation Expert pages to create the package by adding files, registry

keys, and application settings.

You cannot use Virtual Package Editor to create a data layer or to add a data layer to an

application layer.

See also:

About Virtual Package Editor on page 7

Creating an Application Layer on page 17

About Data Layers on page 10

About Data Layers

A data layer captures data files into a dedicated data layer rather than having them

written to an application layer or the base file system. In Wise Installation Studio 7.0

SP1 and later, you cannot use Virtual Package Editor to create or open data layers. If

you open a virtual software archive file (.VSA) that contains a data layer, the data layer

virtual runtime archive

file (.VRA) A .VRA file can be imported with either a licensed or

unlicensed version of the SVS Driver.

You can only create .VRAs in Wise Installation Studio 7.0

SP1 or later.

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.
