AppCapture Folders and Files

AppCapture creates several files and folders.

AppCapture creates various folders in C:\ProgramData\VMware\AppCapture\appvhds.

Table 1. AppCapture Folders

Folder	Description
appvhds	.vhd, .json, and .vdmk files that are generated when you create an AppStack by using AppCapture.
logs	Log file generated by AppCapture. The log file is named AppCapture.log and is located in C:\ProgramData\VMware\AppCapture\logs.
modules	PowerCLI .dll files that are required to perform PowerCLI operations.
plugins	Horizon Cloud with On-Premises Infrastructure plug-ins. Plug-ins convert the AppStack to the correct format for deployment to end users.
templates	.vhd file templates that act as boilerplate .vhd files on which AppStacks are created.

AppCapture creates these files in the appvhds directory unless you specify a different directory. See AppCapture Command-Line Options.
