ETHODS OF CREATING VIRTUAL APPLICATIONS
ZENworks Application Virtualization offers three ways to create and configure virtualized
applications. The best method in a given scenario depends on the nature of the application to be
virtualized.
•
Use an application template: ZENworks Application Virtualization includes templates for
popular applications which can be built and customized using a guided, step-by-step
process. This method is recommended for first-time users of ZENworks Application
Virtualization.
•
Install via application snapshot: Snapshotting captures system state before and after an
application is installed and automatically configures virtual application settings based on
observed system changes. This method is ideal for virtualizing off-the-shelf applications
(Refer to the section "Snapshotting applications" for more information on this method).
•
Manually configure an application: This method is most often used by developers
virtualizing internally developed applications. Manual configuration requires a high
degree of technical knowledge but allows the maximum amount of control over virtual
application settings (Refer to the sub-section "Manually configuring a simple virtual
application" in the "Walkthroughs" section for more information on this method).
All methods allow additional configuration and customization once the initial virtual application
configuration has been constructed.
