The Reviewer&#rsquo;s Guide for VMware ThinApp has been updated for ThinApp 5.2. This guide is for anyone who installs and deploys VMware ThinApp packaged applications, and contains almost everything you need to know about ThinApp. It covers fundamental information about architecture, components, and terminology, and includes practical exercises that guide you through packaging, updating, and deploying applications. A major benefit of ThinApp is its ability to isolate applications. ThinApp applications are self-contained EXE files that do not touch the underlying OS. You can eliminate conflicts and run two versions of the same application, in parallel. For example, if you require a legacy browser for a business application, you can run virtual Internet Explorer 6 with native Internet Explorer 11 on the same desktop.
