[...] September 3, 2008 by Bert Bouwhuis Novell maakte gisteren bekend een applicatievirtualisatie-oplossing te hebben toegevoegd aan haar ZENworks programma. Mijn eerste reactie was dan ook “alweer een nieuwe?”. Bij nader inzien blijkt het echter om een samenwerking te gaan met Xenocode, die onder andere door Michael Pietroforte in juni werd gereviewed.

Yes that would work, but most of these solutions are too costly. I suggest you look at MojoPac, I believe they have a free for personal use version.

Hmm, could this gives the possibility to make a application, put it on a USB stick, and take this around with you? Hence for example, always have the exact same Firefox on you?

Thanks! I think there are quite a few things one will find out the hard way when working with application virtualization. Even though Xenocode’s user interface is self-explanatory, many things are different compared to normal software deployment. I will include the prices if I can find them on the vendor’s site. I agree that the price is an essential feature, too.

Great review!

For what it’s worth, I just gave it a shot as well (I used a clean virtual machine as my master PC), and it does not support the Cisco VPN client

Also, if your application requires a reboot during setup, make sure you save the capture/ouput before doing the actual reboot. I didn’t read the documentation, so I found out the hard way. Thinstall supports rebooting during the setup process, without having to do anything.

Would it be possible to include the cost of the application in the articles in this series (assuming it’s available)? Thanks!
