When capturing Windows applications for testing Windows compatibility, the operating system (OS) on the Self-Provisioning client machine should match the OS on which the applications are currently running. For example, if you are preparing for a migration from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the OS should be based on Windows 7. However, when using Self-Provisioning to create App-V sequences or XenApp packages, the OS should normally match the target OS.

Pre-requisites

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Installers provided with AppDNA:
- Citrix AppDNA Self-Provisioning Client.msi

The 32-bit installers are in C:\Program Files\Citrix\AppDNA\Tools. The 64-bit installers are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\AppDNA\Tools.

Note: Some execution profiles require additional software to be installed on the Self-Provisioning client machine. For example, to create App-V sequences, the App-V sequencer must be installed. Similarly, to create XenApp profiles, the XenApp profiler must be installed. This additional software is provided separately from AppDNA.
