Limitations of Application Virtualization

Go Up to AppWave Readme

Some apps in AppWave will perform automatic updates from vendor websites. Such in-app auto-updates will generally not work in a virtualized app. Should such an auto-update happen when running an app from AppWave, AppWave Browser users should cancel the update operation as it is likely to fail. Similarly, users should not select menu items within an app that aims to update from vendor website. The solution is to apply updates for existing apps once for all users via the mastering process using AppWave Studio. The most recent versions of Embarcadero XE apps are always available on the AppWave Store and are made available to Embarcadero users with maintenance contracts. Embarcadero also updates third party apps on the AppWave Store regularly.
