Quick Fixes

When sequencing an application it’s handy to have a template with some common file and registry exclusions to save on the cleanup work afterwards.

Copy the xml content below into a text file and save with a .appvt extension. Load this template into the App-V Sequencer before packaging an application.

To load this template launch the Sequencer and select File > Load Template.
