Target Settings
When you select a target in the Shortcuts view, the following settings are available.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Enter the name of the target. |
| Target | Enter the path and file name of the file in the App-V package or on the client system that should be launched when end users launch the target’s shortcut or other entry point. As an alternative to manually entering a value, you can click the Browse This Package button or the Browse Your Computer button to browse to the target file. |
| Icon | Enter the path to the icon file (.ico, .exe, or .dll) that contains the icon resource for the shortcut. The location can be in the App-V package, or on your computer or the network. As an alternative to manually entering a value, you can click the Browse This Package button or the Browse Your Computer button to browse to the icon. If the icon file that you specify contains more than one icon resource, after the icon path, add a comma and then the index number. For example, 0 refers to the first icon in the file, 1 refers to the second icon, and 2 refers to the third icon. To specify the third icon in C:\MyIcons.dll, enter the following: C:\MyIcons.dll,2. |
| Target Version | Enter the version number of the target. |
| Arguments | Enter the command-line arguments for the shortcut. These arguments work in the same way as any other command-line arguments. For example, you can link a file to an executable file or cause an executable file to run silently by passing command-line arguments. Note: Verify that the syntax is correct because the Virtual Package Editor does not do this. |
| Working Directory | Enter the working directory for the target. As an alternative to manually entering a value, you can click the Browse This Package button or the Browse Your Computer button to select or create the directory. The working directory is the default directory that is displayed in standard file-opening and file-saving dialog boxes, as well as the current directory used by the App-V application. |
| Terminate Children | Specify whether you want all of the applications and processes that were launched by the App-V application to be closed when the end user exits the App-V application. |
note
These Target Settings are displayed for App-V 4.xpackages only. For App-V 5.0 packages, these settings are under Shortcut Settings.
