VMware ThinApp virtualizes an application by capturing all the changes that occur when that application is installed, and packaging those files and Windows registry settings into a self-contained package. This process is described in more details in the Capturing an Application with ThinApp section of this chapter. The resulting ThinApp application contains not only this application data, but also the software used to create the virtualization layer that isolates the application from the host operating system and any other applications that are in use. These are some advantages of using ThinApp to package and deliver applications:

  • Each application packaged using ThinApp runs within its own virtualization layer, eliminating the potential for conflict with other applications and the host operating system.

  • Deploying applications using ThinApp reduces the size of the master virtual desktop image, as well as the need to maintain that application within the context...
