Xenocode Releases Virtual Application Studio 2010

Major upgrade brings app virtualization to Windows 7 and the Web

Xenocode, a leading developer of technologies enabling instant delivery of software across networks and platforms, today announced the immediate availability of the 2010 edition of Xenocode Virtual Application Studio.  Virtual Application Studio allows system administrators and software developers to easily virtualize existing Windows-based applications for instant, one-click deployment on the web, intranets, and USB drives.

Virtual Application Studio 2010 is available for download at www.xenocode.com.

Xenocode is an easy-to-use app virtualization and delivery technology that eliminates software installation and conflicts.  Xenocode packages applications into self-contained, lightweight virtual machine executables that run instantly on any Windows desktop.

Virtual Application Studio 2010 includes dozens of feature enhancements and upgrades, including:

  • Windows 7 compatibility: Xenocode is the first virtualization engine in its class to include full support for all editions of the new Windows 7 operating system.
  • Publish to Web: Publish apps to the web with a single click.  Once online, apps can be launched with a single click directly within a web browser over 10 times faster than traditional download.
  • Software Expiration: Automatically create evaluation or license-restricted versions of existing apps with run time or date-based “timebomb” expiration.
  • Multi-platform capabilities: Platform merge allows virtual application behavior to be customized on a per-operating system basis while distributing a single executable.
  • Dozens of new application templates: Application templates allow one-click virtualization of most popular software applications, including Office, OpenOffice, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.

“We are pleased to continue our leadership in the app virtualization space and provide our customers and technology licensees with the simplest, fastest, most reliable app delivery technology on the market,” said Kenji Obata, Xenocode founder and CEO.

Xenocode app virtualization eliminates installs, enables one-click launch from the web

Xenocode is a powerful virtualization technology that packages apps into standalone virtual machines that run instantly on any desktop.  Unlike traditional hardware virtualization, Xenocode technology exploits the host operating system environment to eliminate the need to emulate hardware or package operating systems with applications.  Virtual applications require no setup, configuration, or device drivers, are insulated from conflicts, and run seamlessly across Windows variants and on locked-down desktops.

ThinApp – Version 4.0.1

7 décembre 2008

VMware met à jour sa solution de virtualisation d’application

Vmware
Nouveautés :

  • The thinreg.exe utility has been enhanced, facilitating file type association. It also includes support for DDE, extra verbs, and MIME type registration
  • Enhanced support for double-byte applications and double-byte locales
  • Enhanced support for 16-bit MSDOS programs
  • Support for control panel extensions. Some applications, such as QuickTime or the mail applet for Microsoft Outlook 2007, have control panel extensions that you can now see in a ThinApp environment
  • Ability to register files other than .exe files. For example, if you install an application that installed a README file or has another link to documentation, you can access those files
  • Protocol registration. If an application invokes SMTP or HTTP, ThinApp starts any virtual applications that can handle the tasks. If ThinApp cannot locate virtual applications, ThinApp invokes native applications to handle the tasks
  • ThinApp includes the RequiredAppLinks parameter in the Package.ini file. Previously, the user had to manually add this parameter
  • ThinApp makes the MSI build template accessible to users to customize the MSI database
  • User documentation has been restructured to start with basic functionality targeted at the novice user, building towards advanced functionality regarding deployment and customizations
  • Log Monitor now supports the ability to pause and resume trace file capture
  • Application link now supports multi-level links, such that application A links to application B, which links to application C, and so on
  • Special entrypoints cmd, regedit and iexplore are marked with an asterisk (*) to denote these are not virtual applications. Rather, they load respective native EXEs in virtual environment
  • Isolation mode can now be specified at the root of registry (for example, for HKCU, HKLM)
  • Stub executables changed to improve security and interaction with roaming profiles and system-installed applications
  • Support for creating MSI distribution larger than 2GB (requires separate CAB file to be distributed)
  • Support for creation of compressed trace files
  • Support for running ThinApp application on GoGlobal platform
  • Support packaging application wrapped with the « Shrinker » packer

XENOCODE – Virtual Application Studio 2008 SP1

27 juillet 2008
Xenocode Virtual Application Studio

Virtual Application Studio est la nouvelle génération de virtualisation d’applications.
Elle permet à tout type d’applications (.NET, Java, bureautique, métier, …) d’être déployé instantanément par des exécutables de manière fiable et sur tout support.

Virtual Studio Application 2008 SP1 intègre de nombreuses améliorations de fonctionnalité et mises à jour, y compris:

  • Auto-configuration d’applications dont Microsoft Office 2007 : fonctionnalité exclusive, elle élimine complètement la nécessité de tout snapshot pour configurer Microsoft Office 2007.
  • Possibilité d’importer les configurations d’applications externes, y compris VMware ThinApp / Thinstall : un simple clic suffit, sans qu’il soit nécessaire de tout reprendre.
  • Communication entre les applications virtualisées : des applications multiples partagent des ressources et « parlent » virtuellement les unes avec les autres.
  • Tarification très concurrentielle : notamment pour les établissements d’enseignement, organismes gouvernementaux et éditeurs de logiciels.

Dans cette version de Virtual Studio Application, l’accent est porté sur la configuration automatique des applications, ce qui élimine la complexité et la durée de capture et de séquençage des installations. La possibilité de migrer instantanément les configurations de solutions tiers de virtualisation telles que VMware ThinApp est également synonyme d’efficacité.

Virtual Studio Application avec Service Pack 1 intègre également de nombreuses améliorations de compatibilité, de fiabilité et d’amélioration de la performance basées sur le feedback des clients des  premières versions.

Xenocode libère les applications du système d’exploitation en les transformant en un simple EXE.

Les applications « Xenocodées » ne nécessitent pas d’installation, de configuration, d’agent ou de pilotes. Elles sont isolées et fonctionnent sur Windows Vista et immobilisé les ordinateurs de bureau. Les applications virtualisées peuvent être facilement déployées sur des périphériques USB, des intranets d’entreprise, Internet ou l’infrastructure existante à l’aide de logiciels tels que Microsoft SMS, LANDesk Management Suite, BMC Configuration Management et Novell ZENworks.

Les applications .NET, ou Java virtualisées sont prêtes pour un déploiement instantané.

THINSTALL – Version 3.387

10 mai 2008

Nouvelle version Thinstall : 3.387

Thinstall - News

Maintenance corrective et nouveautés :

  • Changement de look
  • Pré-configuration de package.ini par interface graphique
  • Modification de Log Monitor
  • Amélioration du support MS-DOS et 64-bit

Le changelog :

  • Added new graphics for the Setup Capture wizard
  • Fixed a problem in which Setup Capture writes to the package.ini file with MSIInstalDir but the build expects MSIInstallDirectory
  • Fixed an issue in which snapshot.exe sometimes fails when an application contains invalid icon data
  • The installer now supports overridding INSTALLDIR when installing .msi files using a command line interface
  • Log Monitor uses a new shared memory object format. Applications packaged with older versions of Thinstall will no longer produce trace files when a newer version of Log Monitor is running. To produce trace files for older packaged versions of Thinstall, use a copy of an older log monitor application
  • MS-DOS and 64-bit child processes are created natively outside of a virtual environment (previous versions of Thinstall failed to create these processes). This resolves an issue in which a packaged application might not print on 64-bit systems
  • Added the AllowUnsupportedExternalChildProcesses option under [BuildOptions] in the package.ini file. When set to 0, an attempt by the virtualized application to create a child MS-DOS or 64-bit process will fail. When set to non-zero (default), the process will be created natively outside of the virtual environment
  • Fixed a problem in the ts_load_internal_module
  • Resolved issues in which Sandboxes were stored to the root directory of mapped drives or UNC paths
  • Fixed a race condition in .ini file processing that can occur in Microsoft Office 2007 that causes app to crash
  • Implemented the runtime EULA package.ini setting. By default this is 0. Setting it to 1 will cause the EULA to be displayed. Consult your Master License Agreement to determine if you need to display the EULA or not
  • Implemented Setup Capture GUI changes to add easy access to PermittedGroups, Compression, SandboxPath, and Build
  • Prevented exclusion of « HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings5.0User Agent » and « …Internet SettingsUser Agent » registry keys from capture. This fixes an issue in which .NET 1.1 is packaged with IE to provide web-based .net applets without installing .NET
  • Implemented a fix for Cisco Security Agent that has a race condition that was causing a failure when running under Thinstall
  • Fixed corrupted registry isolation when HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt has HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESchema or any other non-existing top-level key. The error message when a DLL can’t be loaded is now more precise. Proper debugging of vregtool is now enabled
  • Fixed a bug in log monitor that was occurring when dereferencing bad pointers and was causing a failure during the logging process
  • Removed small compression. Because of licensing issues, small compression is no longer available. Packages that used small compression will switch to fast compression
  • RegGetValue() will expand REG_EXPAND_SZ strings by default
  • Fixed a number of unicode issues where ANSI string lengths were not calculated correctly for 2-4 byte characters
  • Fixed issues in which child process command line arguments were not being passed along correctly
  • Fixed an issue in which Thinreg would sometimes fail to execute .vbs scripts when .vbs type association has been changed to notepad or other processes
