When updating an existing package, you must consider the existing sandbox. In many situations, you might want to preserve the users' settings and therefore reuse the existing sandbox. Make sure the new version of the package uses the same SandboxName and SandboxPath values, and the existing sandbox will be used, that is, if the new version of the virtualized application can handle the settings from the old version of the application. There is not much ThinApp can do if the application cannot handle existing settings. Luckily, most applications can handle previous versions' settings. If the old sandbox contains conflicting elements, your new package must use a new sandbox. Currently, there is no method to update the existing sandbox content with content from the read-only data.

Overview of this book
VMware ThinApp 4.7 is an application virtualization and portable application creator which allows users to package conventional applications so that they are portable.
"VMware ThinApp 4.7 Essentials" shows you how to deploy ThinApp packages in order to improve the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed.
Application virtualization improves the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed.
VMware ThinApp 4.7 is an application virtualization and portable application creator which allows users to package conventional applications so that they are portable. ThinApp eliminates application conflicts, reducing the need and cost of recoding and regression testing.
In this book you will learn about how application virtualization works and how to deploy ThinApp packages. You will learn how to update and tweak ThinApp Projects before distribution. This book will then cover design and implementation considerations for future ThinApp projects.
