Vista Migration

VMware ThinApp (Formerly Thinstall) fully supports Windows Vista and makes migration easier by eliminating LUA related errors and compatibility issues

An important feature and concept of ThinApp is Dynamic Path Relocation, which refers to the ability to move files and modify registry values to match the local host PC on the fly.

ThinApp performs dynamic remapping during application startup and during runtime which allows both applications and their associated settings to migrate across different versions of Windows - from WindowsNT to Vista.

Instant Side-by-Side DLL migration
Windows XP Side-by-Side DLLs are migrated to Windows Vista Side-by-Side DLLs automatically depending on the platform you are running on.

If you capture an application that uses SxS DLLs on NT/2k/XP/w2k3 it will install SxS DLLs to a path location differently than when installed on Vista. ThinApp dynamically moves these SxS during the application startup if the platform has changed. Using ThinApp's Dynamic Path relocation, you can create one package that works on all platforms.
