Application Virtualization

1. Introduction

To use Login VSI in an environment where applications are delivered as virtual packages only minimal configuration is needed. Login VSI Starts applications by using the file type association for example: to start Microsoft Word Login VSI launches a .doc file, when the file type association is configured properly to either start the application physically or virtual Login VSI will incorporate it in the workload automatically.

2. Configuration

The only application that is not started by using the File type association is Microsoft Outlook, therefore we have to configure the “Outlook Location” in the Login VSI management console and point it to a script that will start your virtualized outlook.

• Download Virtualized Microsoft Outlook Connector (Outlook.zip)
• Extract the zipfile
• Copy Outlook.exe to a location in your VSIShare or directly at the target machine
• Create a cmd file called "Outlook.cmd" and place it next to "Outlook.exe"
• Edit the CMD file and add lines to start virtual outlook (examples below)
• Go to the VSI Management console at the "Workload Configuration" tab
• Configure the outlook location
