It will also set the detection clause for you based on the Windows installer code. It also applies to apps for the Windows Store that comes with Windows 8. Applications that come in a Scriptable installs format i. Finally, applications utilize single-instance storage now called the content library , meaning that they only need to store the content once on your distribution points.
For packages, content must be saved to the distribution point and to the package share to deploy software from the network i. Applications do not have this restriction. They get saved one time, and run either from the network or by downloading the content first. Packages are far easier and less time consuming to set up than applications. For an application, the administrator must figure out the correct detection clause, and fill out a lot more information.
Packages are created the same way they are created in SCCM , and the administrator only has about five screens to go through. Also, management of the deployment of specific programs is separated with packages. With applications, you are deploying all of the deployment types that you set up. You cannot pick only one to deploy. The biggest issue this gives is if you need different user experience settings for an install from Software Center versus an install from a task sequence.
Say you have one deployment type that is set to run only when a user is logged in or allow the user to interact with the program. Applications or Packages cannot be added to a task sequence with either of these settings. Joy Petrie Joy Petrie 38 Points. Exceptional, clear, comprehensive answer, Kristopher Van Sant. Thank you!

I prefer to use packages in a Citrix environment. This applies to both Citrix infrastructure components such as a Delivery Controller or StoreFront server and worker images. In summary , packages are simply much more suitable for a state-less environment such as a Citrix environment.
Whereas a package only serves as a software container, an application is so much more. An application contains detection methods which can be configured to trigger the installation based on certain criteria. Within an application, dependencies to other software can be defined. If the application detects that other software is needed, than this software will be installed first. New versions of the application can be automatically installed when an older version is detected.
Applications are important because it allows customer to interact with services and product through app. All programs are not apps. All Apps or applications are program. Programs are designed to support or help computer execute or perform particular task for benefit of user. Applications are designed to help user to perform activity. Programs usually requires installer that contain essential files for it to get installed on computer.
App does not require any installer, user can download it from internet and then can install on their device. Programs are developed to run on single platform or specific platform for which it is designed. Applications are develop to run on more than single platform such as mobile device, pc, other electronic device, etc. Programs do not require app to operate.
