Modifying Shortcuts to the App-V Package’s Executable Files

AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Microsoft App-V Assistant

You define application shortcuts to enable end users to launch an App-V package from within the virtual environment.

By default, the Microsoft App-V Assistant creates App-V packages for all of the executable shortcuts that exist in your project (or Windows Installer package). These shortcuts are listed in a checklist on the Applications page.

warning

You must define at least one shortcut to enable end users to launch the application from the isolation environment.

On the Applications page, you can create, delete, include, exclude, or rename executable files, which are derived from the shortcuts in its Windows Installer package.
