Create own Portable software

Wanna create portable software?
so here is the tutorial How to do it.
First you need VMWare ThinApp.
Download it. (its available in net)

Follow the steps:
1. Download and install the VMWare ThinApp

2. Now Start the VMWare ThinApp.
 
You can also watch the quick Video in the Start Screen itself.
2. Now click on Next.
It will take you to Prescan option
 
Prescan is the process where the VMWare ThinApp scans the computer hardrive for registry file and initial state of the apps.
So now click on Prescan
It will start prescanning the system
 
3. After the prescan you need to install the application which you want to create a portable version of it.
 
So now install the application.
After the installation of app finishes get back to VMWare ThinApp.
4. Click on Postscan.
When you press postscan you will get a dialog box shows as
 
Click on Ok.
5. VMWare ThinApp will start the postscan. It’s the process of scanning the system again for the basic registry or base data of the software which you have installed before.
 
6. As the result of Postscan it will display the app which have installed after the prescan.
It your time to select the software which you want to create as portable one.

Note: For example I have used Microsoft’s Cliplets so I have selected the Cliplets.exe
7. Just click on Next to bypass VMWare Horizon Application manager
 
8. Authorize the app
 
File System isolation mode
 
Just click on Next to bypass this.
9. Now select the type of Sandbox location.
 
Note: since I wanna cry the portable in USB drive I selected second option.
10. Click on NO to Quality Assurance Statistics.
 
11. Give the name for your portable and location to save.
 
By default it stores in “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\Captures”
You can change it by clicking in Browse
 
12. Select the installer if you wish click on MSI Package generation.
 
Note: I don’t need msi package so I selected the primary container.
13. VMWare will save the project.
 
14. it’s time to build your portable software
 
Click on Build
VMWare ThinApp will start building the project.
15. After the build complete it display as
 
 
Click on Finish.
 
That’s it you have created the Portable Software.

VMware ThinApp

VMware ThinApp is designed to deliver virtualized instances of applications in order to help IT administrators with software migration to a newer operating system and eliminate specific conflicts and compatibility issues.

Features:
· Application isolation: Isolated applications run in a virtual bubble in restricted user accounts without requiring any host
· modification: Deploy Office 97, 2003, 2007, and .NET applications on the same OS without conflict as the applications run independent of one another.

· Zero-runtime execution: With no installed agent, no footprint is left on the endpoint device. Applications run directly from the compressed state without first caching data to the hard disk, achieving better performance and security of data.

· 100% User Mode execution: Client runs on locked-down, unmanaged “kiosk” PCs without Admin rights to execute applications, enabling it to be used on managed and unmanaged PC.

· Block-by-block network streaming: Applications virtualized execute once the minimum amount of code required to run the application is available in the desktop’s memory. For example, less than 10% of Microsoft Office needs to be physically streamed to the client in order for it to run. LAN streaming has an average start-up time of just a few seconds.

· Sandbox environments for terminal services: Provide sandboxing for applications running in a terminal services environment so that multiple users can run their own sandboxed application without affecting each other. If one instance of the application tries to make system-wide changes, other users running the same applications are not affected.

· 64-bit operating system support: Enables applications to be virtualized and run on 64-bit systems.

· Execution on thin clients: Tested and certified to run virtualized applications on Windows XP-based thin clients.
