Note: Use a Clean Operating System for Setup Capture
VMware recommends that customers install only the basic components of the operating system for the
machine that is used for Setup Capture. It is also recommended that you use the oldest version of the operating
system to ensure that the application install puts down all required files. The reason to capture from a clean
operating system is to ensure that all the files and components necessary for the application are detected
by the Setup Capture process. If there is application install logic that looks for a certain version of a .dll and
the capture machine finds it in the local operating system, then that .dll will not be included in the virtualized
application package, and that may not allow the application to function when deployed to an operating system
instance that has not been updated.
Using Active Directory groups to authorize ThinApp Packages
The process of deploying virtualized applications oers administrators control and flexibility over which
machines and users receive the application packages and the ability to launch the packages. Utilizing Active
Directory allows an organization to use the existing processes and controls for group-based security. In
addition to these organizational controls, VMware ThinApp allows an administrator to embed access control
into the package. This access control mechanism is obfuscated from the end user when the package is built so
it is impossible to identify or remove before the application is launched. In this way, the access control travels
with the package if it is moved between devices after deployment.
