Make sure you pick the proper install Type (ex: Windows 7 Enterprise).
Enter the necessary information (see Figure B for example using. iso for creating the templates that will be used as “clean slates” for creating ThinApps Fill in the Name and select to use either an existing VM or an. 
Click on Settings in the upper right corner and make sure the workpool tab is selected. The role of the workpool will become clearer later. You need at least one workpool to create ThinApp packages. 
Now you must create a workpool, which is a pool of Windows machines that you’ve configured that will be managed by the ThinApp Factory. There is a flowchart that shows you how to get started creating your builds, a system data chart, and an alert window that can be pulled up manually. This brings you to the very colorful dashboard (shown in Figure A). Right now there is no password configured, so you can just login with the username “admin”.I noticed that even though I had a default gateway, I still had to be on the same subnet.
Access the management portal by browsing to the IP you assigned it. Fill in the entire first section and all of the required fields of the network settings under the Properties tab at the end of the wizard (I recommend giving it a static IP so that you can easily navigate to it, and you must use a standard switch instead of a distributed switch). Click Next through the wizard (while choosing the appropriate settings for your environment). On your vSphere Client, go to File>Deploy OVF Template and browse to the AppFactory.ovf file. In this post I’ll take you through the initial install of ThinApp Factory and an example of how to use it. VMware has also teamed up with a company called Ninite that will be providing recipes in a feed. It will automate the packaging of applications, while also centralizing administration, and provide recipes to help administrators package even more applications. VMware has recently come out with ThinApp Factory, which is a virtual appliance you can deploy on vSphere or VMware Workstation that simplifies the implementation of ThinApps. Many applications can be run using ThinApp and it’s especially useful if you have VMware View or the new VMware Horizon, but ThinApp can be used outside those solutions as well. For example, if you need to run Internet Explorer 6 for some legacy application, it’s possible to do this using ThinApp and it will be an isolated (more secure) environment and can be run on Windows 7. This portability makes it so the application does not rely on the underlying operating system. ThinApp is a really cool technology that allows users to virtualize applications and makes applications more portable. ThinApp Factory is a virtual appliance you can deploy on vSphere or VMware Workstation that simplifies the implementation of ThinApps.Ī couple of weeks ago I went to a three-hour-deep dive on VMware ThinApp.
