VMware ThinApp is a program that allows you to create virtual copies of applications installed on your computer. Software can often be transferred between computers by system administrators, who can benefit from this program. VMware ThinApp creates something like a portable version of an application that is a single executable (.MSI or .An EXE) file that is independent of other executable files and the operating system in total. To take advantage of this, you can take quick copies of programs from your computer and make them work the system's configuration. The VMware ThinApp portal versions can easily be combined for different versions of Windows, such as, for example, moving IE 6 to Windows 7 or running it alongside another version of IE 7 or 8 on your system. With VMware ThinApp, no updates can be made to a computer running applications packaged with it, so potential conflicts do not occur at the level of the operating system. In such case files, all the required information for the packaged application is kept in the VMware ThinApp. These are all system elements such as DLLs, third-party applications and frameworks, as well as registry keys.
- A fast way of transferring programs from one computer to another.
- the final .MSI or .There's more than enough data in the EXE file to run the program. DLLs and registry keys go together.
