The capture process sets the level of read and write access to the physical file system to determine which directories are visible and writable by the virtual application.

Procedure

  • ♦ In the Isolation window, select the isolation mode for the physical file system.
    Option Description
    Full write access to non system directories (Merged isolation mode) Allows the application to read resources on and write to the local machine.
    Restricted write access (WriteCopy isolation mode)

    Allows the application to read resources on the local machine and to restrict most modifications to the sandbox.

    ThinApp copies file system changes to the sandbox to ensure that ThinApp only modifies copies of files instead of the actual physical files.
