OSD File Missing
Using AdminStudio 9.5 to create App-V package. As to why AdminStudio has not outputted OSD files, I guess something wrong .... I tried 7 Application out of which 4 got OSD files and 3 Application has no OSD file in output Folder......
Guys any ....... comment on this .............I am Using Automated Application Converter .......for App V Output.....

Does those msi files have any shortcuts in them? If there are no shortcuts in the msi file, then there will be no osd files getting created.
Thanks!
Currently i am using Automated Application Converter to repackage the application which was earlier packaged through Wise packaging... in this senario ........ the msi i am getting dont have desktop shortcut.
Can you suggest me how will i get the osd files in App v folder .... tell me the best practise ........ to convert Wise packaged Application into App v application and get the msi to deploy through SCCM console.

When using the conventional MS App-V Sequencer you get an OSD file where you have a shortcut, but also in scenarios where you have only a file association.
In limited tests I've done so far with AdminStudio you only get an OSD file where you have a shortcut.
Thanks,

There could certainly be an issue, it sounds like. But, I just tested the scenario you described with AdminStudio 10:
--Converting an MSI project using InstallShield
--Converting the same MSI project via automated repackaging in AAC
--Converting the MSI via direct MSI conversion
And each of these generated an OSD file without shortcut information, but containing the appropriate file association information.
The sample project did nothing more than register a copy of notepad.exe with the *.npd file extension (which I picked out of thin air).
What version have you seen this issue in?
