The virtual environment presented to the customer is a merged view of the underlying physical and virtual resources, thus allowing the virtualization layer to trick the application into thinking it is running as if it were fully installed. ThinApp is capable of running applications without them being installed in the traditional sense, virtualizing resources such as environment variables, files and Windows registry keys. VMware ThinApp is an application virtualization solution.

VMware ThinApp (formerly Thinstall) is a VMware handheld application and application virtualization suite that can package conventional applications to become handheld applications.
