Virtual Files

Question
-
I am trying to create package in App V. My application is creating multiple temp files(*.tmp) in C drive root directory. To avoid admin access to users, I need to create package which can create any virtual temp files in root directory.(C:\*.tmp).
Is it possible in appv. Can anyone advice.

Hello,
Files has not been supported and is not supported in the root of drives to be virtualized. Use a shim to redirect the writes to a better locationNicke Källén | The Knack| Twitter: @Znackattack

If you capture a *.tmp file in the root of C:\ during sequencing, does that not then work at runtime on the client?
