Example: Create Child Processes in the Physical Environment
If you do not want the child process to operate in or slow down the virtual environment, you can modify the
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault parameter to create child processes in the physical environment.
[BuildOptions]
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=External
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions Parameter
The ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions parameter notes exceptions to the
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault parameter when you want to specify child processes.
When you set the ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault parameter to Virtual, the
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions parameter lists the applications that run outside of the virtual
environment. When you set the ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault parameter to External, the
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions parameter lists the applications that run in the virtual environment.
Example: Specifying Exceptions to Running Child Processes in the Virtual
Environment
You can specify exceptions to running child processes in the virtual environment. When the virtual
application starts a notepad.exe child process, the child process runs outside the virtual environment.
[BuildOptions]
ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions=AcroRd.exe;notepad.exe
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual
