The sequencing process involves the following general steps:
1. The Sequencer triggers the application's standard installation process. It then records
the following:
■ Files that have been installed
■ Registry settings that have been modified
■ Environment variables that have been configured
■ Dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that have been registered
■ Any other changes that have occurred to the system
2. The Sequencer creates a virtual environment and loads the application into this
environment, including any data and modifications that occurred during the standard
installation process.
3. The application starts so that any post-installation configuration tasks can be per-
formed. If this step is not performed during sequencing, users will have to perform
these post-installation tasks manually after deployment, storing any configuration
settings locally on the client. During this process, the Sequencer determines which
program components are required to start the application.
In more detail, to sequence an application you use the Application Virtualization
Sequencing Wizard to install the application by performing the following general steps:
1. Open the Sequencer on the client.
2. Create a new virtual application package.
3. Verify that the operating system environment has no issues that might interrupt the
sequencing process.
4. Choose the application type.
5. Choose the application installer location.
6. Provide a virtual application package name and a primary virtual application directory.
The Sequencer will trigger the installation.
7. Answer questions that the installation routine presents.
These can include questions about license agreements, installation location, and other
application installation options.
8. Run any additional files the installation might require.
9. Complete the installation.
10. Perform any post-installation configuration tasks.
11. Review the installation report.
12. Configure the streaming options.
13. Select the target operating system.
14. Create the package.
