Sequence application and dependency with APP-V DSC

The following details how to use APP-V Dynamic suite composition to sequence a application dependencies.

An example of this is excel plug-ins. You will likely have a main office sequence and then want additional sequence for specialists add-ins that developers or inhouse applications require.

The whole thing boils down to ensuring you create 2 separate sequences.  Then edit the OSD file to name the dependency.

1.) sequence dependant application.
2.) Clean machine
3.) Select to install APP-V package locally
4.) sequence application
5.) Edit OSD files as below.

1.)
Add  DEPENDENCIES section inside VIRTUALENV
inside the section of the OSD file of the app with a dependency.

2.) copy CODEBASE info from the app dependency

3.)
Paste that CODEBASE into the new DEPENDENCIES section of app with a dependency.
You can remove all tags except HREF, GUID and SYSGUARD

Thats it. This tells the new app that its dependent on an existing application.
