You can update the ThinApp runtime embedded in the packages. You can rebuild your project folder using a new ThinApp version, or you can use the tool relink.exe to update the runtime. relink.exe does not require the project folder. It will apply a new runtime directly into an existing package. There's rarely any need to update the ThinApp runtime. Normally, you don't need to update your packages when a new ThinApp version is released. But when ThinApp 4.5 was released, one of the big new features was Windows 7 support. Old packages had to be updated in order to work on Windows 7.

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.
