| Practice | Description |
|---|---|

| Virtual machine needs adequate resources | Make sure that the machine containing the virtual images has adequate resources. |
| Each package should be in its own folder | Each package that you add to an Automated Application Converter project should be in an individual folder, especially if they are uncompressed packages. |
| Manually test a virtual machine before adding it to an Automated Application Converter project | Before adding a virtual machine to your Automated Application Converter project, boot it up manually to make sure it is running properly. Make sure that no message boxes open (such as a Failure to Start Service error message) that would require user input. |

| Disable unnecessary devices | On each virtual machine, disable devices that are not required, such as: CD/DVD drives USB Controller Floppy drives Sound cards |
| Turn off Windows Update on the virtual machines | To avoid problems with repackaging, turn off Windows Update on the virtual machines. |
