Abstract
Techniques for creating and using a recipe to create a virtual package for a virtual application. Existing methods for creating virtual packages may require the use of an expert or may not be reliable. In some embodiments, a dehydrator is use to create a recipe. The dehydrator may take as input a reference virtual package and install media for the application and output a recipe that may be used to create a particular virtual package for a particular operating system and/or environment. In some embodiments, a rehydrator may be used to create a particular virtual package from a recipe. The rehydrator may take as input a recipe and install media for an application and output a particular virtual package for a particular operating system and/or environment.
