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.
