With application virtualization, it is often possible to run two otherwise conflicting applications simultaneously on the same machine. A virtualized application is much easier to deploy, maintain, and retire than a natively installed one. By having clean machines, your clients will be more stable. The benefits of using application virtualization are many.
When hooking the API for, let's say Open File, it is possible for the virtualization layer to present a virtual environment for the application, thus fooling the application into thinking it is already locally installed and therefore allowing it to execute. There is also a virtualization layer hooking into the APIs of the application. By virtualizing the application, you will never install anything on the client, you will simply execute the application. This modifies your operating system and you will always run the risk of overwriting something already installed and breaking an existing application. Normally when you install an application it will register DLL files, create registry keys, and copy files into your operating system.
Using virtualization allows you to execute the application as if it was locally installed when it is not. This book will then cover design and implementation considerations for future ThinApp projects.Īpplication virtualization encapsulates an application and all of its components into a package that is easy to deploy and manage. You will learn how to update and tweak ThinApp Projects before distribution. In this book you will learn about how application virtualization works and how to deploy ThinApp packages.
ThinApp eliminates application conflicts, reducing the need and cost of recoding and regression testing.
VMware ThinApp 4.7 is an application virtualization and portable application creator which allows users to package conventional applications so that they are portable. "VMware ThinApp 4.7 Essentials" shows you how to deploy ThinApp packages in order to improve the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed.Īpplication virtualization improves the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed.
