This concludes the book on ThinApp 4.7 Essentials. I hope you found the book useful and that it will help you with your daily ThinApp packaging.

If you are looking for more ThinApp information, can I recommend the official VMware ThinApp blog, http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp. Since it's a blog, articles will be archived per month published and you will have to search to find what you are looking for. There are some categories you can sort on, but not all articles are created with a category. Personally, I use http://google.com to search the blog. I've found Google to be much more precise in its search result than the blog's own search engine.

The ThinApp community, http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/thinapp, is another great resource for information.
