Van toepassing op: Application Virtualization 4.6 SP2

Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.6 SP2 provides several enhancements and new features, which are described in this topic.

Waarschuwing

In dit onderwerp wordt beschreven hoe u met Register-editor het Windows-register kunt wijzigen. Als u het Windows-register op een onjuiste manier wijzigt, kunt u ernstige problemen veroorzaken waardoor u Windows opnieuw moet installeren. Maak een back-up van de registerbestanden (System.dat en User.dat) voordat u het register wijzigt. Microsoft kan niet garanderen dat de problemen die mogelijk optreden wanneer u het register wijzigt, kunnen worden opgelost. Wijzig het register op uw eigen risico.

    DWORD

    1

    Set this value to 1 in order to start Adobe Reader X in Protected Mode during the launch phase.

    Notitie

    On a computer running a 64-bit operating system, create the registry value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\SystemGuard\Overrides.

  • For each OSD-file in your Adobe Reader X package, add the following items under the <POLICIES> element:

    <VIRTUAL_FILE_SYSTEM_PASS_THROUGH>TRUE</VIRTUAL_FILE_SYSTEM_PASS_THROUGH>

    <VIRTUAL_REGISTRY_PASS_THROUGH>TRUE</VIRTUAL_REGISTRY_PASS_THROUGH>
