Command-Line Parameters

Use the following Application Virtualization Sequencer parameters to sequence an application and to upgrade a sequenced application package at the command prompt. In the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer directory, you would enter SFTSequencer, followed by the appropriate parameter.

/HELP or /?
Use to display the list of parameters available for command-line sequencing.

/INSTALLPACKAGE or /I
Use to specify the installer or a batch file for the application to be sequenced.

/INSTALLPATH or /P
Use to specify the package root directory.

/OUTPUTFILE or /O
Use to specify the path and file name of the SPRJ file that will be generated.

Important   The /OUTPUTFILE parameter is not available when opening a package that you do not intend to upgrade.

/FULLLOAD or /F
Use to specify whether to put everything in the primary feature block.

/PACKAGENAME or /K
Use to specify the package name of the sequenced application.

/BLOCKSIZE
Specifies the SFT file block size that will be used to stream the package to client computers. You can select one of the following values:

  • 4 KB

  • 16 KB

  • 32 KB

  • 64 KB

You should consider the size of the SFT file when you specify the block size. A file with a smaller block size takes longer to stream over the network but is less bandwidth-intensive. Files with larger block sizes use more network bandwidth.

/COMPRESSION
Use to specify the method for compressing the SFT file as it is streamed to the client.

/MSI or /M
Use to specify generating a Microsoft Windows Installer package for the sequenced application.

/DEFAULT
Specifies the default SPRJ file that will be used when creating a virtual application package. This file is used as the .sprj template when the application is sequenced for the first time.

/UPGRADE
Specifies the path and file name of the SPRJ file that will be upgraded.

/DECODEPATH
Specifies the directory on the sequencing computer where the files associated with the sequenced application package are installed. Use one of the following formats when specifying the directory:

  • /decodepath:Q:

  • /decodepath:Q:.

  • /decodepath:”Q:.”

  • /decodepath:”Q:”
