About Client Configuration Settings

The Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) client stores its configuration in the registry. You can gather some useful information about the client if you understand the format of data in the registry. You can also configure many client actions by changing registry entries. This topic lists the App-V Client configuration settings and explains their uses. You can use PowerShell to modify the client configuration settings. For more information about using PowerShell and App-V see Administering App-V by Using PowerShell.

App-V Client Configuration Settings: Windows PowerShell

IntegrationRootUser String	Specifies the location to create symbolic links associated with the current version of a per-user published package. all virtual application extensions, for example shortcuts and file type associations, will point to this path. If you do not specify a path, symbolic links will not be used when you publish the package. For example: %localappdata%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration.	Set-AppvClientConfiguration, Set-AppvPublishingServer	Policy value not written (same as Not Configured)
IntegrationRootGlobal String	Specifies the location to create symbolic links associated with the current version of a globally published package. all virtual application extensions, for example shortcuts and file type associations, will point to this path. If you do not specify a path, symbolic links will not be used when you publish the package. For example: %allusersprofile%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration	Set-AppvClientConfiguration, Set-AppvPublishingServer	Policy value not written (same as Not Configured)
VirtualizableExtensions String	A comma -delineated list of file name extensions that can be used to determine if a locally installed application can be run in the virtual environment. When shortcuts, FTAs, and other extension points are created during publishing, App-V will compare the file name extension to the list if the application that is associated with the extension point is locally installed. If the extension is located, the RunVirtual command line parameter will be added, and the application will run virtually. For more information about the RunVirtual parameter, see Running a Locally Installed Application Inside a Virtual Environment with Virtualized Applications.	Set-AppvClientConfiguration, Set-AppvPublishingServer	Policy value not written
ReportingEnabled True (enabled); False (Disabled state)	Enables the client to return information to a reporting server.	Set-AppvClientConfiguration, Set-AppvPublishingServer	False

ReportingDataBlockSize Integer [1024 - Unlimited]	Specifies the maximum size in bytes to transmit to the server for reporting upload requests.

Set-AppvClientConfiguration, Set-AppvPublishingServer	Policy value not written (same as Not Configured)
ReportingStartTime Integer (0 – 23)	Specifies the time to initiate the client to send data to the reporting server. You must specify a valid integer between 0-23 corresponding to the hour of the day.

ReportingRandomDelay Integer [0 - ReportingRandomDelay]	Specifies the maximum delay (in minutes) for data to be sent to the reporting server. When the scheduled task is started, the client generates a random delay between 0 and ReportingRandomDelay and will wait the specified duration before sending data. This can help to prevent collisions on the server.	Set-AppvClientConfiguration, Set-AppvPublishingServer	Policy value not written (same as Not Configured)
