How should a Streamed VHD environment be configured to allow user-installed applications?

Streamed VHD in Standard mode typically implies a read-only base image, which resets on reboot and does not allow user-installed applications to persist.

Personal vDisk (PvD) is a technology that allows user-specific application installations and data to persist across sessions in a non-persistent VHD environment. It layers a writable disk on top of the streamed base image, enabling users to customize their desktop and maintain installed applications.

Streamed VHD in Private mode (or persistent mode) allows users to make changes and install applications but loses the single image management benefits of a streamed environment, making each desktop unique.

App-V packages deliver virtualized applications and do not enable users to directly install applications onto the virtual desktop's operating system.
