Answer: A

Explanation:

Application Profiler is a tool that analyzes the registry and file system locations where the settings for a particular application are stored, and creates a Flex configuration file for use with Dynamic Environment Manager. Application Profiler is installed using VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Enterprise Setup Wizard and explicitly selecting local drive installation1. This option allows you to install Application Profiler on a separate machine from the Dynamic Environment Manager Agent or Management

Console. Alternatively, you can install Application Profiler on the same machine as the Dynamic Environment Manager Agent or Management Console, by selecting network share installation1.

VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Agent and the Application Profiler can be installed on the same machine, but it is not recommended. This is because the Dynamic Environment Manager Agent might interfere with the profiling process by applying settings to the application being profiled1. Therefore, it is best to use a clean system for profiling applications.

Application Profiler is not installed automatically when installing VMware Dynamic Environment Manager FlexEngine or Management Console. FlexEngine is the component that applies the user environment settings during logon, logoff, and session reconnect or disconnect events2. Management Console is the component that allows you to configure and manage the user environment settings2. Neither of these components requires Application Profiler to function. Application Profiler is an optional tool that helps you create Flex configuration files for applications that are not included in the predefined settings library1. References:
