# How to Test Application Publishing
|
||
|
||
|
||
After your test of first time setup finishes, you can verify that the application publishing functionality is working as expected by performing the following tasks.
|
||
|
||
<a href="" id="bkmk-apppub"></a>**To test application publishing**
|
||
|
||
1. Verify that the applications that you specified for publishing are visible.
|
||
|
||
Click **Start** and then click **All Programs** and search for the specified applications.
|
||
|
||
In some cases, you might have the same application installed two times, one time on the host computer and one time on the guest. If a published application that has the same name is published to the same location on the host **Start** menu, it is distinguished from the host application shortcut by adding the virtual machine name to the shortcut name. For example, for a virtual machine named “MEDVHost1”, a host application might be "Notepad" and a published application might be "Notepad (MEDVHost1)".
|
||
|
||
2. Verify that the applications function as intended.
|
||
|
||
On the host computer, start the applications that you published and verify that they open in Windows XP SP3 on the guest. The application must appear in a Windows XP-style window on the host computer desktop.
|
||
|
||
3. If applicable, verify that document redirection functions as intended.
|
||
|
||
If a published application on the guest has to open a folder on the host system drive, ensure that it can open the specified folder.
|
||
|
||
**Important**
|
||
Because Windows Virtual PC does not support creating a share from a folder that is already shared, redirection does not occur for any documents that open from a shared folder, such as a My Documents folder that is located on the network. For more information, see [Operations Troubleshooting](operations-troubleshooting-medv2.md).
|
||
|
||
After you have verified that published applications are installed and functioning correctly, you can test whether applications can be added or removed from the MED-V workspace.
|
||
|
||
**To test that an application can be added or removed**
|
||
|
||
1. Add or remove an application from the MED-V workspace.
|
||
|
||
For information about how to add and remove applications from a MED-V workspace, see [Managing Applications Deployed to MED-V Workspaces](managing-applications-deployed-to-med-v-workspaces.md).
|
||
|
||
2. If you added an application, repeat the steps in [To Test Application Publishing](#bkmk-apppub) to verify that the new application functions as intended.
|
||
|
||
3. If you removed an application, click **Start** and then click **All Programs** and verify that any applications that you removed are no longer listed.
|
||
|
||
**Note**
|
||
If you encounter any problems when verifying your application publication settings, see [Operations Troubleshooting](operations-troubleshooting-medv2.md).
|
||
|
||
After you have completed testing application publishing, you can test other MED-V workspace configurations to verify that they function as intended.
|
||
|
||
After you have completed testing your MED-V workspace package and have verified that it is functioning as intended, you can deploy the MED-V workspace to your enterprise.
