Before migrating applications that have the same application GUID, you must do the following:
Identify the base application, which is the application required by all the other applications to run.
Migrate the base application.
Migrate other applications.
For example, assume that you have three applications (A, B, and C) that have the same application GUID. Application A installs Microsoft Office, application B launches Microsoft Word, and application C launches Microsoft Excel.If you want to migrate these applications, you must first migrate A, which is the base application, before applications B and C are migrated.
On migrating an application that has the same application GUID as an application that was already migrated, you are prompted to select the following options:
Set the base application as the system requirement of the migrating application (Option 1): Lets you set the base application as the system requirement of the migrating application.
Apply the setting to all the applications that have the same GUID and are in the migration queue (Option 2): Lets you apply the setting that you selected in option 1 to all the applications in the migration queue that have the same application GUID.
The following table provides more information on what happens when you select or deselect the options:
All the applications that have the same application GUID belong to one application set. If you choose to migrate more than one application set, you must migrate the base application for each application set before migrating other applications within the sets.
For example, assume that you have two applications, X and Y, that have the same application GUID. Application X installs OpenOffice and application Y installs OpenOffice Writer. Applications A, B, and C belong to one application set; and applications X and Y belong to another application set.
If you want to migrate both application sets, you must do the following:
Migrate A, which is the base application of the first application set.
Migrate X, which is the base application of the second application set.
Migrate the remaining applications from both application sets.
