Diff b/w Files and Virtual Files
Hi All,
Greetings.
I have a small confusion, ie., when we open the SPRJ we can find a different tabs like Properties, Deployment.... in those i have seen the other two tabs Files and Virtual File System.
So i just want to know what is the major difference between Files and Virtual File System tab inside the SPRJ and what it contains.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sunny

The difference is how they were captured, files installed to the location you were monitoring go into the files tab, however files that were written/modified outside the location you were monitoring are placed in the VFS (Virtual File System) in the appropriate location they were found (ie C:\Program Files\Common would be placed in CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON).

Files in the Files -tab represents the internal directory structure for the App-V package, containing all and every file captured during sequencing.
VFS tab however then describes how some of those files and directories are to be mapped over physical filesystem when package is run at the client. Source files/directories for these mappings are stored under VFS subdirectory under package's root direcory, and visible in the Files -tab among other files.
