Offered only in the ‘Create a Plug-in Package’ wizard, this step allows you to extract a previously sequenced application (like a middleware or main application) to the local sequencer computer. This steps allows to point to an executable/installer that will be automatically launched later on in the ‘Install’ step. In this step, the Sequencer analyses the computer and summarizes potential issues (like if there are other applications running, if the computer was not reverted to a clean state, if Defender is running…) Select Installer Task description Prepare Computer / Best Practices Note that I intentionally did not include the Create New Package –> Create Package using Package Accelerator wizard, because the concept of Accelerators is somewhat different compared to ‘daily sequencing operations’. The following table compares the wizards based on the main Sequencing tasks. On a first glance, the 5.0 / 5.0 SP1 Sequencer wizards look very much the same, but because App-V 5.0 is quite different at all, let’s see how Microsoft implemented wizards in here In this article the wizards will be compared and a guideline will be provided when to use which wizard.īack in 2011 I published an article that described the differences between the App-V Sequencing Wizards that have been introduced with 4.6 SP1. The App-V 5 Sequencer offers – like the 4.6 SP1 Sequencer – a set of wizards.
