We have answered the “why,” now let us answer the “what” and “how.”įor using existing ThinApp projects with VMware App Volumes, we have two different scenarios for you: ThinApp MSI and ThinReg command line. When combined with the rapid application-delivery capabilities of App Volumes, these ThinApp features can provide powerful performance benefits (see Aaron Black’s January, 2014, blog post, ThinApp Packages Can Now Be Delivered In VMDKs!). Using VMware ThinApp to package applications is a robust solution when you have application conflicts or need application-to-OS isolation, or you need to support legacy applications such as IE6 on Windows 7. So when it comes to using ThinApp packages with VMware App Volumes, what might be the easiest and best way to combine the technologies? And why would you want to do this?Īs with all technical application-delivery questions, it depends upon your environment, your application, and your desired outcome. ThinApp packaged applications have always supported a variety of deployment options. With VMware’s acquisition of App Volumes (formerly known as CloudVolumes), customers now have another option for deploying VMware ThinApp packaged applications.
