This week I have played around quite a bit with the latest version of ThinApp from VMware (version 4.0.4). The goal have been to make a ThinApp package of Microsoft Office 2007.

The only problem have been to create a single working package for Windows XP and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
Yesterday I finally made it!
Here’s how I did it…
  1. Install a clean install of Windows XP PRO
  2. Install .NET 2 and 3
  3. Run a complete Windows Update
  4. Install ThinApp 4.0.4
  5. ThinApp the Office installation by following [Step by Step Instructions on How to ThinApp Microsoft Office 2007] but during the Office 2007 installation choose to install the application to C:\Office2007 instead of the regular %Program Files%. This will fix the problem with 32-bit and 64-bit having different paths to %program files% (On 64-bit editions %Program FIles% points to Program Files and not Program Files (x86))

ThinApp is a wonderful application!

The only problem has been finding a similar plug-in for Windows. I think I found it.


The Virtual Desktop Manager in Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP is a pretty good choice. I have to admit that I didn’t think that Microsoft would deliver such a useful feature. And for free.. But I’m thankful for it!
