I’m pretty late on this but we released a neat tool that allows you to App-V a server application that’s already been installed on a box.  It’s called the Server App-V Remote Application Packager.

Traditionally, packaging an application for deployment through Server App-V has involved installing your application while the Sequencer monitors its progress and packages the results.  Today, we are introducing the Server App-V Remote Application Packager which allows you to package an already installed application following the basic workflow below.

1. Install the Server App-V Sequencer and Remote Application Packager on your sequencing server
2. Launch the Server App-V Sequencer and select a custom installation workflow
3. Launch the Remote Application Packager, when the Sequencer is ready for you to run an installer
4. Provide the machine name with the natively installed applications
5. Select the applications you want to package and click start
6. The Sequencer copies over your application and produces a Server App-V package

That easy and your natively installed applications can now enjoy the benefits of easy and flexible deployment using Server App-V and VMM Service Templates.
