Create Infrastructure Software Packages for Microsoft App-V

You can create Microsoft App-V infrastructure software packages using CA-provided templates. The packages you create with the templates are standard software delivery packages.

Note: This procedure assumes that you have the following products available: Microsoft System Center Application Virtualization Streaming Server, Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client, and Microsoft Application Virtualization Client for Remote Desktop Services. The following procedure describes how to create packages for the server and both types of clients.

To create infrastructure software packages for Microsoft App-V

Access the following folder on the CA ITCM installation media:
```
examples\AV_Templates\Microsoft AppV packages
```
Copy the Microsoft AppV packages folder (and the entire tree structure below it) to your local machine (for example, to D:\AppV-Packages).
Open the image file “server_files.JPG” in the 1.vol subfolder and view the Microsoft product files that are required:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Infrastructure Package for AppV Server\1.vol
```
Copy the required files (as shown in “server_files.JPG”) from the Microsoft System Center Application Virtualization Streaming Server installation media to the following subfolder:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Infrastructure Package for AppV Server\1.vol
```

Remove the file “server_files.JPG” from the following subfolder:

Microsoft AppV packages\Infrastructure Package for AppV Server\1.vol

Open the image file “client_files.JPG” in the Desktop Client template and view the Microsoft product files that are required:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client
```
Copy the required files (as shown in “client_files.JPG”) from the Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client installation media to the template:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client
```

Remove the file “client_files.JPG” from the Desktop Client template:

Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client

Open the image file “client_files.JPG” in the Desktop Client for Remote Desktop Services template and view the Microsoft product files that are required:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client for Remote Desktop Services
```
Copy the required files (as shown in “client_files.JPG”) from the Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client for Remote Desktop Services installation media to the template:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client for Remote Desktop Services
```

Remove the file “client_files.JPG” from the Desktop Client for Remote Desktop Services template:

Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client for Remote Desktop Services

Copy the required files (as shown in “files.JPG”) from the Microsoft Application Error Reporting installation media to the template:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Error Reporting
```
Remove the file “files.JPG” from the Application Error Reporting template:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Error Reporting\1.vol
```
Open the image file “files.JPG” in the Application Error Reporting template and view the Microsoft product files that are required:
```
Microsoft AppV packages\Microsoft Application Error Reporting\1.vol
```
Select all folders under the AppV packages folder (for example, D:\AppV-Packages) in Windows Explorer and drag and drop them into the Software Package Library in the EGC GUI.
Microsoft App-V infrastructure software packages are created and registered in the Software Package Library. You need to deploy the following packages on target computers.
- The infrastructure package for the server is named using the following format:
```
Infrastructure Package for AppV Server
```
- The infrastructure package for the standard desktop computer is named using the following format:
```
Infrastructure Package for AppV Client
```
- The infrastructure package for the terminal server is named using the following format:
```
Infrastructure Package for AppV Client for Remote Desktop Services
```
