Showing posts with label Environment Variables. Show all posts
As we all know that Environment variables play a vital role in many applications, the way they are handled in a virtual app is radically different from that of a physically installed application.
Below mentioned points discriminates behavior of virtually defined environment variables from that of physical ones.
• The Environment Variable defined exists ONLY when the application is active. The variables are cleared once the application is closed.
• The environment variable inside the virtual app will override the values defined by the Operating system.
• All the variables are treated as User variable even if gets captured as a variable defined at system level.
This is how an environment variable is defined inside OSD
<[ENVLIST]>
<[ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE="TEMP"]>Value<[/ENVIRONMENT]>
<[/ENVLIST]>
Multiple environment variables can be defined within the tag using the above syntax. Needless to say that above XML content will return a parser error because of "[". Removing this would get the us the job done
