You can use the centralized mode to create executable files for the captured application and store them on a network file share to deploy them.
Each time you deploy a new application or an update to an existing package, you can notify users to run the thinreg.exe utility with an appropriate option. Several users can click a shortcut, which can be in the form of a desktop shortcut or a URL and stream the remote centralized application simultaneously.
The ThinApp runtime is structured in a way that binary data can stream itself across a remote link. ThinApp loads the entire runtime client to the user system first and then loads the complete virtual Registry, which includes the file locations. When the target application starts, ThinApp uses block-based streaming decompression to decompress the application package data one block at a time and loads only the files that the application needs. This process is fast because ThinApp does not write data to the disk, avoiding the lengthy step of decompressing the compressed data to the disk.
IT administrators can control user access to file shares by organizing network shares based on function and associating permissions with network shares based on those functional boundaries.
The differences between the centralized mode and the VMware View option are that the centralized mode assumes a mix of physical and persistent virtual desktops. The centralized mode involves users running the thinreg.exe utility directly instead of relying on login scripts.
