i just realized one of the hosted apps we use here utilizes thinapp, it might help if i understand how it works...
 
you install a thin app on a clean windows OS(usually a VM and take a snap shot of it so you can revert back to it to create more apps). Then you install thinapp. Start thinapp and then scan, thinapp will scan your OS and registry so it can compare it with the results after you install the application. Install the application that you want, then scan the windows OS again for changes. It will then create a project somewhere, you can then make changes you want to the project. When your happy with the settings you build the project and a .exe and .dat file will be in the bin folder. You can then just move those 2 files to any computer or USB key and run it.

man thats a deal:rolleyes:

Application virtualization is just too expensive to be using it to make employees Microsoft Word, and excel Portable.

I see the benefit if you need to sandbox an app for testing in software development
or some app compatibility on a production server.

But thats about it.


I wish they would sell a Thinstall Personal for $500, and it would let you use unlimited licenses for non-production use.

If I could take some of my apps, and thinstall them for a reasonable price I would.
But 5000 is hardly reasonable.
 
Java based applications are great candidates for thinapp/application isolation. They have a tendency to decimate the user profile and be finicky about JRE versions.
