Applications that are run as standard users

When a standard user launches an App-V application, both HKLM and HKCU for App-V applications are stored in the HKCU hive on the machine. This presents as two distinct paths:

-

The locations are enabled for roaming based on the operating system settings.

Applications that are run with elevation

When an application is launched with elevation:

-
    -
  • HKLM data is stored in the HKLM hive on the local computer

  • -
  • HKCU data is stored in the User Registry location

Since App-V is an application virtualization technology and not a task scheduling technology, the Windows Task Scheduler is utilized to enable the process when the user signs in, the machine turns on, and at scheduled intervals.

- ## Dynamic configuration processing Deploying App-V packages to a single machine or user is very simple. However, as organizations deploy App-V applications across business lines and geographic and political boundaries, it becomes impossible to sequence all applications with the same settings. App-V was designed to overcome this problem by capturing specific settings and configurations during sequencing in the Manifest file while also supporting modification with Dynamic Configuration files.
