Application template schema reference for UE-V 2.1 SP1

Artikkeli
06/16/2016

Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) 2.1 SP1 uses XML settings location templates to define the desktop application settings and Windows settings that UE-V captures and applies. UE-V includes a set of default settings location templates. You can also create custom settings location templates with the UE-V generator.

An advanced user can customize the XML file for a settings location template. This article details the XML structure of the UE-V 2.1 SP1 settings location templates and provides guidance for editing these files.

UE-V 2.1 SP1 application template schema reference

This section details the XML structure of the UE-V 2.1 SP1 settings location template and provides guidance for editing this file.

XML declaration and encoding attribute

Mandatory: True

Type: String

The XML declaration must specify the XML version 1.0 attribute (<?xml version="1.0">). Settings location templates created by the UE-V generator are saved in UTF-8 encoding, although the encoding isn't explicitly specified. We recommend that you include the encoding="UTF-8" attribute in this element as a best practice. All templates included with the product specify this tag as well. For reference, see the documents in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft User Experience Virtualization\Templates.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Namespace and root element

Mandatory: True

Type: String

UE-V uses the https://schemas.microsoft.com/UserExperienceVirtualization/2012/SettingsLocationTemplate namespace for all applications. SettingsLocationTemplate is the root element and contains all other elements. Reference SettingsLocationTemplate in all templates using this tag:

<SettingsLocationTemplate xmlns='https://schemas.microsoft.com/UserExperienceVirtualization/2012/SettingsLocationTemplate'>

Data types

These items are the data types for the UE-V application template schema.

GUID: GUID describes a standard globally unique identifier (GUID) regular expression (regex) in the form \{[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}\}. This GUID is used in the Filesetting\Root\KnownFolder element to verify the formatting of well-known folders.
FilenameString: FilenameString refers to the file name of a process to be monitored. The following regular expression restricts its values: [^\\\?\*\|<>/:]+. In other words, they can't contain the following characters:
- Backslash characters (\)
- Asterisk (*)
- Question mark (?)
- Pipe character (|)
- Greater than sign (>)
- Less than sign (<)
- Forward slash (/)
- Colon (:)
IDString: IDString refers to the ID value of Application elements, SettingsLocationTemplate, and Common elements (used to describe application suites that share common settings). It's restricted by the same regex as FilenameString ([^\\\?\*\|<>/:]+).
TemplateVersion: TemplateVersion is an integer value used to describe the revision of the settings location template. Its value can range from 0 to 2147483647.
Empty: Empty refers to a null value. This data is used in Process\ShellProcess to indicate that there's no process to monitor. This value shouldn't be used in any application templates.
Author: The Author data type is a complex type that identifies the author of a template. It contains two child elements: Name and Email. Within the Author data type, the Name element is mandatory while the Email element is optional. This type is described in more detail under the SettingsLocationTemplate element.
Range: Range defines an integer class consisting of two child elements: Minimum and Maximum. This data type is implemented in the ProcessVersion data type. If specified, both Minimum and Maximum values must be included.
ProcessVersion: ProcessVersion defines a type with four child elements: Major, Minor, Build, and Patch. This data type is used by the Process element to populate its ProductVersion and FileVersion values. The data for this type is a Range value. The Major child element is mandatory and the others are optional.
Architecture: Architecture enumerates two possible values: Win32 and Win64. These values are used to specify process architecture.
Process: The Process data type is a container used to describe processes for UE-V to monitor. It contains six child elements: Filename, Architecture, ProductName, FileDescription, ProductVersion, and FileVersion. This table details each element's respective data type:

Element	Data Type	Mandatory
Filename	FilenameString	True
Architecture	Architecture	False
ProductName	String	False
FileDescription	String	False
ProductVersion	ProcessVersion	False
FileVersion	ProcessVersion	False

Processes: The Processes data type represents a container for a collection of one or more Process elements. Two child elements are supported in the Processes sequence type: Process and ShellProcess. Process is an element of type Process and ShellProcess is of data type Empty. At least one item must be identified in the sequence.
Path: Path is consumed by RegistrySetting and FileSetting to refer to registry and file paths. This element supports two optional attributes: Recursive and DeleteIfNotFound. Both values are set to default="False".

Recursive indicates that the path and all subfolders are included for file settings or that all child registry keys are included for registry settings. In both cases, all items at the current level are included in the data captured. For a FileSettings object, all files within the specified folder are included in the data captured by UE-V but folders aren't included. For registry paths, all values in the current path are captured but child registry keys aren't captured. In both cases, care should be taken to avoid capturing large data sets or large numbers of items.

The DeleteIfNotFound attribute removes the setting from the user's settings storage path data. This attribute can be useful in cases where removing these settings from the package saves a large amount of disk space on the settings storage path file server.
FileMask: FileMask specifies only certain file types for the folder that the Path attribute defines. For example, Path might be C:\users\username\files and FileMask could be *.txt to include only text files.
RegistrySetting: RegistrySetting represents a container for registry keys and values and the associated desired behavior on the part of the UE-V Agent. Four child elements are defined within this type: Path, Name, Exclude, and a sequence of the values Path and Name.
FileSetting: FileSetting contains parameters associated with files and files paths. Four child elements are defined: Root, Path, FileMask, and Exclude. Root is mandatory and the others are optional.
Settings: The Settings attribute is a container for all the settings that apply to a particular template. It contains instances of the Registry, File, SystemParameter, and CustomAction settings described earlier. In addition, it can also contain the following child elements with behaviors described:

Element	Description
Asynchronous	Asynchronous settings packages are applied without blocking the application startup so that the application start proceeds while the settings are still being applied. This element is useful for settings that can be applied asynchronously, such as those `get/set` through an API, like SystemParameterSetting.
PreventOverlappingSynchronization	By default, UE-V only saves settings for an application when the last instance of an application using the template is closed. When this element is set to false, UE-V exports the settings even if other instances of an application are running. Suited templates - those that include a Common element section- that are shipped with UE-V use this flag to enable shared settings to always export on application close, while preventing application-specific settings from exporting until the last instance is closed.
AlwaysApplySettings	This parameter forces an imported settings package to be applied even if there are no differences between the package and the current state of the application. This parameter should be used only in special cases since it can slow down settings import.

Name element

Mandatory: True

Type: String

Name specifies a unique name for the settings location template. This is used for display purposes when referencing the template in WMI, PowerShell, Event Viewer, and debug logs. In general, avoid referencing version information, as this can be objected from the ProductVersion element. For example, specify <Name>My Application</Name> rather than <Name>My Application 1.1</Name>.

Note

UE-V doesn't reference external DTDs, so it isn't possible to use named entities in a settings location template. For example, don't use ® to refer to the registered trade mark sign (®). Instead, use canonical numbered references to include these types of special characters, for example, &#174 for the registered trademark character (®). This rule applies to all string values in this document.

For a complete list of character entities, see W3 XHTML 1.0 - DTDs. UTF-8-encoded documents might include the Unicode characters directly. Saving templates through the UE-V generator converts character entities to their Unicode representations automatically.

ID element

Mandatory: True

Type: String

ID populates a unique identifier for a particular template. This tag becomes the primary identifier that the UE-V Agent uses to reference the template at runtime (for example, see the output of the Get-UevTemplate and Get-UevTemplateProgram PowerShell cmdlets). By convention, this tag shouldn't contain any spaces, which simplifies scripting. Version numbers of applications should be specified in this element to allow for easy identification of the template, such as <ID>MicrosoftCalculator6</ID> or <ID>MicrosoftOffice2010Win64</ID>.

Version element

Mandatory: True

Type: Integer

Minimum Value: 0

Maximum Value: 2147483647

Version identifies the version of the settings location template for administrative tracking of changes. The UE-V generator automatically increments this number by one each time the template is saved. Notice that this field must be a whole number integer; fractional values, such as <Version>2.5</Version> aren't allowed.

Tip

You can save notes about version changes using XML comment tags , for example:

  <!--
     Version History

     Version 1 Jul 05, 2012 Initial template created by Generator - Denise@Contoso.com
     Version 2 Jul 31, 2012 Added support for app.exe v2.1.3 - Mark@Contoso.com
     Version 3 Jan 01, 2013 Added font settings support - Mark@Contoso.com
     Version 4 Jan 31, 2013 Added support for plugin settings - Tony@Contoso.com
   -->
  <Version>4</Version>

Important

This value is queried to determine if a new version of a template should be applied to an existing template in these instances:

When the scheduled Template Auto Update task runs.
When the Update-UevTemplate PowerShell cmdlet is run.
When the microsoft\uev:SettingsLocationTemplate Update method is called through WMI.

Author element

Mandatory: False

Type: String

Author identifies the creator of the settings location template. Two optional child elements are supported: Name and Email. Both attributes are optional, but, if the Email child element is specified, it must be accompanied by the Name element. Author refers to the full name of the contact for the settings location template, and email should refer to an email address for the author. We recommend that you include this information in templates that you publish publicly.

Processes and process element

Mandatory: True

Type: Element

The Processes element contains at least one <Process> element, which in turn contains the following child elements: Filename, Architecture, ProductName, FileDescription, ProductVersion, and FileVersion. The Filename child element is mandatory and the others are optional. A fully populated element contains tags similar to this example:

<Process>
  <Filename>MyApplication.exe</Filename>
  <Architecture>Win64</Architecture>
  <ProductName> MyApplication </ProductName>
  <FileDescription>MyApplication.exe</FileDescription>
  <ProductVersion>
    <Major Minimum="2" Maximum="2" />
    <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
    <Build Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
    <Patch Minimum="5" Maximum="5" />
  </ProductVersion>
  <FileVersion>
    <Major Minimum="2" Maximum="2" />
    <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
    <Build Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
    <Patch Minimum="5" Maximum="5" />
  </FileVersion>
</Process>

Filename

Mandatory: True

Type: String

Filename refers to the actual file name of the executable as it appears in the file system. This element specifies the primary criterion that UE-V uses to evaluate whether a template applies to a process or not. This element must be specified in the settings location template XML.

Valid filenames can't match the following regular expression: [^\\\?\*\|<>/:]+. In other words, they can't contain the following characters:

Backslash characters (\)
Asterisk (*)
Question mark (?)
Pipe character (|)
Greater than sign (>)
Less than sign (<)
Forward slash (/)
Colon (:)

Tip

To test a string against this regex, use a PowerShell command window and substitute your executable's name for YourFileName:

"YourFileName.exe" -match "[\\\?\*\|<>/:]+"

A value of True indicates that the string contains illegal characters. Here are some examples of illegal values:

\\server\share\program.exe
Program*.exe
Pro?ram.exe
Program<1>.exe

Note

The UE-V generator encodes the greater than and less than characters as > and < respectively.

In rare circumstances, the FileName value won't necessarily include the .exe extension, but it should be specified as part of the value. For example, <Filename>MyApplictication.exe</Filename> should be specified instead of <Filename>MyApplictication</Filename>. The second example won't apply the template to the process if the actual name of the executable file is MyApplication.exe.

Architecture

Mandatory: False

Type: Architecture (String)

Architecture refers to the processor architecture for which the target executable was compiled. Valid values are Win32 for 32-bit applications or Win64 for 64-bit applications. If present, this tag limits the applicability of the settings location template to a particular application architecture. For example, compare the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft User Experience Virtualization\templates\MicrosoftOffice2010Win32.1SP1.xml and MicrosoftOffice2010Win64.xml files included with UE-V. This is useful when relative paths change between different versions of an executable or if settings are added or removed when moving from one processor architecture to another.

If this element is absent, the settings location template ignores the process' architecture and applies to both 32-bit and 64-bit processes if the file name and other attributes apply.

Note

UE-V doesn't support ARM processors in this version.

ProductName

Mandatory: False

Type: String

ProductName is an optional element used to identify a product for administrative purposes or reporting. ProductName differs from Filename in that there are no regular expression restrictions on its value. This allows for more easily understood descriptions of a process where the executable name isn't obvious. For example:

<Process>
  <Filename>MyApplication.exe</Filename>
  <ProductName>My Application 6.x by Contoso.com</ProductName>
  <ProductVersion>
    <Major Minimum="6" Maximum="6" />
  </ProductVersion>
</Process>

FileDescription

Mandatory: False

Type: String

FileDescription is an optional tag that allows for an administrative description of the executable file. This is a free text field and can be useful in distinguishing multiple executables within a software package where there's a need to identify the function of the executable.

For example, in a suited application, it might be useful to provide reminders about the function of two executables (MyApplication.exe and MyApplicationHelper.exe), as shown here:

<Processes>
  <Process>
    <Filename>MyApplication.exe</Filename>
    <FileDescription>My Application Main Engine</ FileDescription>
    <ProductVersion>
      <Major Minimum="6" Maximum="6" />
    </ProductVersion>
  </Process>
  <Process>
    <Filename>MyApplicationHelper.exe</Filename>
    <FileDescription>My Application Background Process Executable</FileDescription>
    <ProductVersion>
      <Major Minimum="6" Maximum="6" />
    </ProductVersion>
  </Process>
</Processes>

ProductVersion

Mandatory: False

Type: String

ProductVersion refers to the major and minor product versions of a file, as well as a build and patch level. ProductVersion is an optional element, but if specified, it must contain at least the Major child element. The value must express a range in the form Minimum="X" Maximum="Y" where X and Y are integers. The Minimum and Maximum values can be identical.

The product and file version elements can be left unspecified. Doing so makes the template version agnostic, meaning that the template applies to all versions of the specified executable.

Example 1: Product version 1.0

Product version: 1.0 specified in the UE-V generator produces the following XML:

<ProductVersion>
  <Major Minimum="1" Maximum="1" />
  <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
</ProductVersion>

Example 2: Product version 5.0.2.1000

File version: 5.0.2.1000 specified in the UE-V generator produces the following XML:

<FileVersion>
  <Major Minimum="5" Maximum="5" />
  <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
  <Build Minimum="2" Maximum="2" />
  <Patch Minimum="1000" Maximum="1000" />
</FileVersion>

Incorrect example 1 - incomplete range

Only the Minimum attribute is present. Maximum must be included in a range as well.

<ProductVersion>
  <Major Minimum="2" />
</ProductVersion>

Incorrect example 2 - Minor specified without Major element

Only the Minor element is present. Major must be included as well.

<ProductVersion>
  <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
</ProductVersion>

FileVersion

Mandatory: False

Type: String

FileVersion differentiates between the release version of a published application and the internal build details of a component executable. For most commercial applications, these numbers are identical. Where they vary, the product version of a file indicates a generic version identification of a file, while file version indicates a specific build of a file (as in a hotfix or update). This uniquely identifies files without breaking detection logic.

To determine the product version and file version of a particular executable, right-click on the file in Windows Explorer, select Properties, then select on the Details tab.

Including a FileVersion element for an application allows for more granular fine-tuning detection logic, but isn't necessary for most applications. The ProductVersion element settings are checked first, and then FileVersion is checked. The more restrictive setting applies.

The child elements and syntax rules for FileVersion are identical to those of ProductVersion.

<Process>
  <Filename>MSACCESS.EXE</Filename>
  <Architecture>Win32</Architecture>
  <ProductVersion>
    <Major Minimum="14" Maximum="14" />
    <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
  </ProductVersion>
  <FileVersion>
    <Major Minimum="14" Maximum="14" />
    <Minor Minimum="0" Maximum="0" />
  </FileVersion>
</Process>

Application element

Application is a container for settings that apply to a particular application. It's a collection of the following fields/types.

Field/Type	Description
Name	Specifies a unique name for the settings location template. This is used for display purposes when referencing the template in WMI, PowerShell, Event Viewer, and debug logs. For more information, see Name.
