The software then works out the ‘difference’ and uses that information to build a software package. If you’ve ever used sysdiff in the past or Novell Zenworks for Desktops, you will be familiar with the process, take a ‘scan’ of a clean machine, then install application(s), then carry out another ‘scan’. (Not because it needs a copy, but VMware recommends you use a clean virtual machine to create your ThinApps on). And it ships with a copy of VMware workstation. ThinApp was a product called Thinstall that VMware purchased and “re-badged”, you get a free copy with VMware View 5 (Premier Edition). It’s a product that turns applications into “Stand alone” thin applications, that can be sent to a user and ran without the need for that user to have administrative access, or the need to install anything. ThinApp is an “Odd” VMware product, insofar as it’s got nothing to do with virtual machines or virtual technology.
