Hi,
I downloaded and tried InstallAware Virtualization demo, and I must say I am very impressed with the product.
However, when I tried to capture one software with a few executable files (a main program and some small utility tools) here comes my concern. PackageAware tool only allows me to select one executable file for the whole package. So by virtualizing my software I can only use the main program, and the other utility tools which come along have become unavailable.
I understand the idea of InstallAware Virtualization is to create ONE single file out of the full application, but how do you tackle such software coming with multiple executable files? Does it mean we have to package each single EXE file separately one by one?
cheers,
danny

Dear Danny,
you can add additional files or even folder as well in InstallAware Virtualization.
Select the File tab (main IA Virtualization Ide), rigth click "All Files" node and then select; "new file" or "Import Folder".

Re: Support multiple exe files in InstallAware Virtualizatio
I have several EXE files in the same folder that I would like to access within the same virtual environment.
While your reply explains how to add additonal folders to a virtual app, it does not explain how to provide multiple entry points into a single virtual app.

Hello,
Thank you.
Multiple entry points are not supported. The only thing you can do in such case is to create a few independent packed exe files.JeffryPaul wrote:I have several EXE files in the same folder that I would like to access within the same virtual environment.
