Application Packagers usually spend some time in testing the virtualized applications in a standalone machine to confirm that the package is working fine and is issue free. In order to test the virtualized package using .appv, we need to open up a Powershell window as an administrator, and type in some Powershell commands. Though the commands are simple, they often require some time, which I feel can be reduced drastically. There are quite a few tools that provide options to test the packages without any need to do manual work, but not all customers want to use them in their environment. Hence, an idea to use a simple trick to install the App-V virtual packages in a single click without any need to open Powershell and type commands in a standalone machine. This can be achieved by a simple registry tweak to publish the virtual packages either globally, or to a user by right clicking an appv file, and using the context menu shortcut option.
