import Search Path

Question

Hi all

I sequence a package (office 2010) and I would like to test each deployement mode.

First, I'd like to make it work without virtualization streaming server. So I place the package on a File Share. And I set the unc path in the "import search path" on my appV Client. But nothing appears in the application node.

Does I have to install the MSI ? What the purpose of import search path. Any answer or link to documentation would be great

Thanks

Configure the App-V client in stand-alone mode: http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/app-v-faq-13-how-do-i-configure-the-app-v-client-in-stand-alone-mode/

Then use the SFTMIME ADD PACKAGE command to import the package: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc817181.aspx

Thanks for your response

I'll be able to deploy and test my apps.

But I do not understand how the "import Search Path" works.

And is there a difference between deploy application with SFTMIME and MSI ?

Thanks

Hello,

See this article;

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc843615.aspx

I have actually never seen it used any where.

MSI is a wrapper for executing certain commands to import and remove applications.

SFTMIME is the command-line possibility todo so on your own.
