Making it portable for use on any Windows machine, since it doesn’t need a client installed to work or any backend servers. So essentially, the agent or client which needs to be installed for App-V, is actually just built into every application. The executable also obviously contains the vendors own solution to ensure the application launches and finds what it needs in the isolated location etc. the registry, files, folders, services, environment variables etc.to and also provides isolation into one executable. Portable solutions encapsulate everything required for the application to function i.e. You will see with solutions such as App-V and Symantec Workspace Streaming which require you to install a client or agent software piece on your end user devices in order to publish applications for those users to leverage. I have mentioned in my blogs on other application virtualization technologies that most of the Application virtualization solutions provide the capability and produce applications which provide what I refer to as ‘portable’ applications. This one is very simplistic, very straight forward to setup and very straight forward to use.

This time with Portable Apps Suite or P-Apps. Back again with yet another application virtualization solution.
