When you use the sequencer to create a new virtual application, the following list displays the files that are created and comprise the App-V 5.0 Beta package:

• .MSI – this Windows Installer (.msi) file is created by the sequencer and is used to install the virtual package on target computers.
• Report.xml - the sequencer saves all issues, warnings, and errors that were discovered during sequencing and displays the information after the package has been created. You can us this report for diagnosing and troubleshooting.
• .appv file - the virtual application.
• Deployment configuration file - the deployment configuration file determines how the virtual application will be deployed to target computers.
• User configuration file - the user configuration file determines how the virtual application will run on target computers.
