Setting App-V Package Registry Isolation Options

The Microsoft App-V Assistant enables you to configure isolation options for a registry key.

note

Although you cannot explicitly set an isolation option for a registry value, registry values are subject to the isolation options of their keys.

To configure an isolation option for a registry key:

  1. In the Microsoft App-V Assistant, open the Registry page.
  2. Right-click the key that you would like to configure and then click Isolation Options. The Options dialog box opens.
  3. Select one of the following options:

    • Merge with local key —The App-V package sees a merged view of the registry entries for the selected key from both the local registry and from the App-V package’s registry.

    • Override local key —The App-V package sees only the registry entries for the selected key that are part of that App-V package.

  4. Click OK.

Registry keys that have an override isolation option are marked with a special icon.

tip

To launch the Registry Import Wizard and import an existing registry (.reg) file, click the Import a .reg file option in the More Options area on the Registry page.
