<strong>What</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>Thinstall</strong>?<br />
<strong>Thinstall</strong> <strong>is</strong> an Application Virtualization solution that<br />
packages Windows applications into a single EXE and<br />
allows the application to run on a host PC without<br />
installation or changes to the local desktop's reg<strong>is</strong>try and<br />
file system.<br />
Unlike other solutions, <strong>Thinstall</strong> <strong>is</strong> client-less, requires no<br />
additional infrastructure. <strong>Thinstall</strong>ed applications can<br />
run from any device such as a Desktop, LAN, WAN, USB<br />
Flash.<br />
"<strong>Thinstall</strong>ed" applications run entirely in user-mode on<br />
locked-down PCs enabling admin<strong>is</strong>trators to maintain a<br />
secure, clean, and stable user desktop.<br />
