App-V Server URL option

[pydna]

Hi

Is it possible for the Path On Server Field (located in App-V Build Server URL) to have the option to be left blank?

Currently it is forcing me to input a path whereas all packages sequenced with Microsoft Sequencer allow this value to be left blank.

thanks

Hi Pydna,

I'm afraid this is not possible from Advanced Installer. Can you please give us more details as to why do you want to leave this field empty?

Hi Bogdan

Basically with the Sequencer we get .OSD file output like this

"RTSPS://%SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER%:322/<PACKAGEFOLDERNAME>/<PACKAGESFTNAME.SFT>"

With Advanced Installer we get

"RTSPS://%SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER%:322/Folder Name/<PACKAGEFOLDERNAME>/<PACKAGESFTNAME.SFT>"

I know i could edit every .OSD file manually but doing this is pretty time consuming and erodes the advantage of using Advanced Installer over the Sequencer. We deploy our App-V packages using SCCM if that is any help?

Also in the sequencer I can specify the drive letter in the PACKAGEROOTFOLDER (e.g. Q:\) with Advanced Installer I can only Foldername. Is it is possible to add an option to specify the drive letter?

Thanks and merry christmas

We've add this on our TODO list, we shall include it in Advanced Installer as soon as possible.
