I was asked by my company to create a 2-day training for SWV for an end user company. The training needed to enable the end user company to make simple packages, clean them and deploy them.

Also instead of .VSA, make it as a single self-executable .EXE / .COM file where all the runtime/ temporary files are sandboxed. The biggest plus of this approach is you need not depend up the presence of SVS runtime in every client machines & need not worry about any traces / leftovers. This approach will make all the ...
