To capture an application layer with single program capture

1. Start the SWV Admin tool.

2. Click Start > All Programs > Symantec > Workspace > Virtualization > Symantec Workspace Virtualization Admin.

3. In the SWV Admin tool, on the File menu, click New Layer.

4. On the first panel, click Install application, and then click Next.

5. On the second dialog box, type a name for the layer, and then click Next. Layer names are limited to 50 characters.

6. On the Capture dialog box, do the following tasks:

   • Click Single program capture.

   • Click Browse and select the setup file.

     This file can be an EXE or an MSI.

   • (Optional) Type parameters for running the setup file.

   • Click Next.

   • Click Finish.

     A rotating icon appears in the system tray.

7. To capture the installation, work through the installation dialog boxes to complete the capture.

   You must exit all processes that the installation starts (for example, a system tray application) before the capture process is complete.

8. (Optional) If an installation has an option to launch the application at the end of the installation, do the following tasks:

   • Select the option to open the application.

   • When the application opens, make changes to the default settings of the application.

     Because the installer opens the application, you are still in capture mode and the changes are captured.

   • Close the application to complete the capture.

   The layer now appears in the SWV Admin tool.
