Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

VMWare's ThinApp is the solution for many app requests

Submitted by tonythunfish on September 27, 2008 - 5:47pm

For "portablizing" specific apps I use VMWare's ThinApp (formerly known as Thinstall). I created a clean Windows Installtion in a virtual machine and there I simply install an app before packaging it with Thinapp.

Till now I portablized apps like:
- Creative Suite 3
- Mindjet Mindmanager (uses complete .NET FW appendice)

I think everyone knows that the apps mentioned above are really complex scenarios.
And so my definitive suggestion for specific apps (respectively those more complex than a 10-File utility)is ThinApp. Give it a try.

So far, :tony
