Sequencing an application captures the files, registry entries, shell extensions, services, shortcuts, and file extensions to be included in the virtual application package.
Tip
Note that device drivers cannot be virtualized and must be installed using traditional methods. Of particular note are printer capture drivers for software such as Microsoft OneNote and SMART Notebook.
Regardless of the method of deploying an App-V application, the sequencing process is the same; however, there are three different types of sequences that can be run per the following table:
Standard application: This is the most common type and covers programs such as Audacity or Office365.
Add-on or Plug-in: This covers extensions for standard applications, for example, the Lame MP3 extension in Audacity or an automation plug-in for Microsoft Excel.
Middleware: This covers prerequisites for standard applications, for example, the Java extension.
