Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization
2.3 ZENworks virtual application usage scenarios
Use your new ZENworks virtual application to:
Deploy your application in a single executable that runs immediately: Improve the user download

and startup experience by packaging all application files, registry settings, runtimes, and components into a
single executable that runs immediately.
Run Java and .NET without separate runtime installations: Your Java and/or .NET-based

application runs immediately, just like a native executable, with no separate installation steps or runtime
versioning conflicts. Execute multiple runtime versions concurrently with no conflicts.
Improve desktop security: Execute your applications without granting administrative permissions to

end-users. Stabilize desktop images by deploying applications in sandboxed ZENworks virtual applications.
Eliminate third-party setup dependencies: Integrate third-party components, COM/VB controls, and

content viewers such as Acrobat, Flash, and Shockwave, directly into your application.
Eliminate Vista UAC prompts and compatibility: Deploying in a ZENworks virtual

application eliminates requirements for access to privileged system resources, relieving users of annoying
Vista UAC prompts.
Leverage Terminal Services and Citrix investments: By isolating applications from global resource

areas, ZENworks virtual application technology allows non-compliant applications to function properly in
Terminal Server and Citrix environments.
Deploy instantly on USB drives: Improve mobile worker productivity by placing your ZENworks virtual

application onto a USB flash-memory drive. Run your application immediately on remote PCs, with no
installation steps, administrative privileges or driver installations.
Dramatically reduce test and support costs: At last, no more "DLL hell", "policy hell", versioning

and dependency conflicts, etc. Reduce test complexity and eliminate support requests associated with
dependency installation and inter-application resource conflicts.
