The virtual applications are thereby isolated from each other and can thus be run independently without any changes to the operating system in question. Isolation of applications to avoid conflictsĬonflicts between individual applications or between applications and operating systems are avoided with ThinApp by packaging 32- or 64-bit applications, including settings, in a single MSI or EXE file these can then be deployed in different Windows operating environments. Application packages already created for use with ThinApp on Windows XP or older versions can be conveniently converted to a ThinApp Windows format using the relink feature. Installed applications are automatically converted to ThinApp packages in the background. VMware ThinApp enables rapid migration of legacy applications to Windows 7 or Windows 10 without the need for recoding, retesting, or recertification.

Simplified migration of operating systems The benefits include improved compatibility with other applications and easier management, as well as a consistent user experience that helps improve workflow efficiency. Applications virtualized in this way cannot cause any changes to the underlying operating system, and they can also be run in different configurations. This can then be deployed, managed and updated independently of the underlying operating system. VMware ThinApp approaches application virtualization by first encapsulating application files and registry entries in a single ThinApp package. To do this, ThinApp uses a variety of strategies that allow, for example, legacy applications to be migrated with ease. VMware ThinApp is an agentless solution designed to virtualize a variety of applications running on different versions of operating systems and deliver them to users in a unified environment.
