Extracting Files and Folders from the App-V Package

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | Virtual Package Editor

When you are editing an App-V package in the Virtual Package Editor, you may want to extract one or more files and folders from the package and save them to a local or network location. Doing so enables you to view the physical files that are streamed within the App-V package. If you extract a folder that contains subfolders and files, the Virtual Package Editor uses the same folder structure when saving the folder and its contents.

To extract a file from an App-V package:

  1. In the View List under Application Data , click Files and Folders .
  2. In the Files and Folders explorer, right-click the file that you want to extract, and then click Extract . The Save As dialog box opens.
  3. Browse to the location where you want to save the file.
  4. In the File name setting, enter a new name for the file if you want to use a different one.
  5. Click the Save button.

The Virtual Package Editor saves the file in the location that you specified.
