Start with a reference machine, run the Thinapp wizard, share out the package it creates. First run it will create any local folders necessary but after that it's just a matter of clicking on the exe from the package which we generally give them a shortcut to. John W.

How easy is it to package stuff up? I find App-V dead easy, but then again it was the first thing I used for it. My other main packaging experience was with Citrix Streaming, and that ain't great at all. One thing I will say for App-V is that it's dead easy to deliver it through Citrix if you've got that kind of layered infrastructure. You don't even need the App-V streaming conduit - you just point a published app to the App-V client and add the right switches, and you can deliver the App-V stuff right through the Citrix plugins like an normal installed app. App-V also integrates nicely with AppSense and particularly their Personalization Server piece, which makes it another popular choice for the kind of deployments I do. I was just wondering how far the OP is wanting to take their entire "virtualization" strategy? Certainly once you get into the deeper parts of profile and application virtualization you can put together a solution based around a vast amount of different combinations of technologies rather than the more limited options available on a server or desktop virtualization level.
