VMware ThinApp becoming automagic!

September 3rd, 2009 | Author: Erik Zandboer

Yesterday on VMworld 2009 I went to a breakout session on VMware ThinApp. To my surprise we saw a demo on a new ThinApp feature. This feature is basically, that you can automagically rebuild your ThinApps! In the demo five Windows XP VMs were used, and all “setup.exe” files resides on some share. When the repacker was kicked off, the VMs were snapshotted. Then, ThinApp got kicked off inside each VM. After the ThinApps were regenerated, they were automagically copied off the VM, after which the snapshot was reverted.  This process repeated itself on all available VMs until all ThinApps were rebuilt.

Magical!
