App-V Launcher

This tool lets you test an App-V 4.6 or 5.0 package locally, before moving it to a deployment server. The tool can be found in the following location:

 

<RayPackinstalldir>\Tools\AppvLauncher\AppvLauncher.exe
 
for example
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\RayPack\Tools\AppvLauncher\AppvLauncher.exe

 

Prerequisites

Microsoft .NET 4.0 must be installed on the machine where AppvLauncher.exe is running

Microsoft Application Virtualization Client must be installed on the machine where AppvLauncher.exe is running

File streaming must be enabled

The tool is fully standalone, requires no other files and no RayPack license.

 

Usage

You can simply copy the file to any location containing App-V 4.6 or App-V 5.0 package and run it by double clicking its icon.

 

If exactly one App-V 4.6 or 5.0 package could be found in the same folder where the tool is, that package will be launched

If no package has been found in the same folder where the tool is, nothing will happen

If more than one App-V 4.6 or App-V 5.0 package is found, then a package selector will be shown:

 

appvlauncher

 

In order to start the currently selected package, click on Launch App-V button. The icon on the left side informs about the App-V version of package (App-V 4.6 or App-V 5.0). Press Close to close the App-V launcher.

 

Building App-V packages

App-V launcher is automatically copied to the output build folder, when Copy App-V launcher to the output folder option is selected in the profile settings.
