Novell Doc: Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 10.1 Integration and Streaming Guide - Using the Configuration Wizard to Prepare Applications for Virtualization

1.1 Using the Configuration Wizard to Prepare Applications for Virtualization

ZENworks Application Virtualization includes a Configuration Wizard that helps you prepare common applications for virtualization. The recipes are dynamic, so they are visible only on the platform or architecture on which they are supported.

You can now run a desktop scan on the local machine for installed applications and match them to the current template list. An administrator can then select from the list of matched applications and virtualize one or more in a single step.

The following applications are available in the template list:
