Setting Isolation Options for Folders and Files

AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Microsoft App-V Assistant

note

Some settings apply to particular versions of App-V packages. Version-specific differences are noted where appropriate.

The Microsoft App-V Assistant enables you to configure isolation options for folders (in App-V 4.x and 5.x packages) and for files (in App-V 4.x packages). Isolation options indicate how the isolation environment provides access to system resources that the virtual application needs: you can choose to ignore one or more folders on the client system, or you can choose to create a merged view of one or more folders.

To configure isolation options for a folder or file:

  1. In the Microsoft App-V Assistant, open the Files page.
  2. Right-click the file or folder that you want to configure and then click Isolation Options. The Options dialog box opens.
  3. Select the appropriate option.
  4. Click OK.

Files and folders that have a custom isolation option are marked with a special icon:
