What ThinApp Does

OS Migrations

When migrating from prior Windows OS versions, migrate legacy web applications that rely on Internet Explorer 6 by virtualizing IE6 along with the application.

Server Consolidation

Enable multiple applications and "sandboxed" user-specific configuration data to reside safely on the same server.

Application Mobility

Deploy, maintain and update virtual applications on USB flash drives for ultimate portability.

Application Isolation

Eliminate application conflicts by isolating applications from each other and the underlying OS into a single executable file that can be easily deployed to many endpoints, independently or with App Volumes.

Desktop Security

Deploy ThinApp packages on "locked-down" PCs and allow end users to run their favorite applications without compromising security.

Features

OS Migrations Made Easy

Quickly migrate your legacy applications to Windows 7 or Windows 10 without the need to recode, retest and recertify. Automatically convert silent-installed applications to ThinApp packages. If you've already packaged applications with ThinApp for use on XP or older versions of Windows convert them to the ThinApp Windows format with ThinApp's Relink feature.

Application Isolation for Zero Conflicts

Package an entire 32-bit or 64-bit application and its settings into a single .MSI or .EXE executable that can be deployed to many Windows operating environments. Virtual applications are isolated from each other and execute independently without making changes to the underlying operating system, eliminating application-to-application conflict and application-to-OS conflicts. ThinApp packages can be delivered and managed with App Volumes for complete lifecycle management.

No Application Silos

The traditional IT model of one application per server requires dedicated hardware for specific applications that cannot coexist, whether for technical reasons or concerns about data isolation. ThinApp eliminates these application silos for better use of existing assets while making your applications easier to manage and deploy.

Security without System Changes

Applications can run in restricted user accounts on locked-down PCs with no system changes and without reducing the security policy. ThinApp has no kernel-mode code and cannot violate machine group policy applied to the user. It cannot give application-elevated permissions to devices on the machine, which prevents unintended policy violations.

Mobile Access

Whether on the road or in the office, users require reliable and flexible application access across devices. With ThinApp, users don't need to install software or device drivers and don't need admin rights. Applications run directly from portable storage devices, including Flash drives.
