Migrating Applications with ThinApp

During an Upgrade from Microsoft

Windows XP to Windows 7

ThinApp 4.6

Youmustmigrateallyourapplications,data,andsettingsmanuallyfromaphysicalWindowsXPsystemtoa

virtualWindows7system,becauseyoucannotdirectlyupgradefromMicrosoftWindowsXPtoWindows 7.

UseVMwareThinApp™topackageyourapplicationsanddeploythemonaWindows7virtualmachine.

You canconfigureandaccessyourvirtualWindows7systemusingVMwareView™client.

ThistechnicalnoteisintendedforadministratorswhowanttomigratemultipleusersfromphysicalWindows

XPsystemstovirtualWindows7systems.Thistechnicalnoteislimitedtopackaginganddeploying

applicationswhenmigratingfromWindowsXPtoWindows7.SeetheThinAppUserʹsGuideforcomplete

informationonThinAppfeaturesandhowtouseThinApp.

Theinformationinthistechnicalnoteisbasedonthefollowingassumptions.

YouaremigratingfromaphysicalWindowsXPsystem.

YouaremigratingtoavirtualWindows7system.

YouaccessyourvirtualWindows7systemusingVMwareViewClient.

YouhavethelatestversionofVMwareViewClientinstalledonthevirtualdesktop.Formore

information,seetheVMwareViewInstallationGuide.

Youhaveathird‐partyapplicationtomigrateallyourapplications,data,andsettingsfromthephysical

WindowsXPsystemtothevirtualWindows7system.

Benefits of Migrating with ThinApp

WhenyouaremigratingfromWindowsXPtoWindows7,youcanuseThinApptopackageanddeployyour

variousapplications.MigratingwithThinApphasthefollowingbenefits.

Youcanpackageapplicationsassingleexecutables.

Youcanrunapplicationsincompleteisolation.

Youcaneliminateapplication‐to‐applicationconflicts.

ThinAppallowsyoutodeliverreliableandflexibleapplicationaccesstoalluserprofiles.

YoucanpackageanddeployInternetExplorer6withThinAppanduseitonyourWindows7system.

YoucandeploythesameThinAppapplicationpackageformultipleusersondifferentplatforms,like

WindowsXP,WindowsVista,Windows7,andCitrixXenapp.

Operating Systems and Applications That ThinApp Supports

ThinAppenablesyoutopackageanentireapplicationanditssettingsintoasingleexecutablefile.Usingthis

executablefile,youcandeployvirtualizedlegacyapplicationsonWindows7.ThinAppsupportsthe

followingoperatingsystems,applications,andsystems.

32‐bitplatformsincludeWindows2000,WindowsXP,WindowsXPE,WindowsServer2003,

Windows Vista,WindowsServer2008,andWindows7.

64‐bitplatformsincludeWindowsXP64bit,Windows200364bit,WindowsVista64bit,

Windows Server 200864bit,WindowsServer2008R264bit,andWindows764bit.

16‐bitapplicationsrunningon32‐bitWindowsoperatingsystems.

32‐bitapplicationsrunningon32‐bitand64‐bitWindowsoperatingsystems.

TerminalServerandCitrixXenapp.

ThinAppcannotconvertsomeapplicationsintovirtualapplicationsandmightblockcertainapplication

functions.Insuchcases,usethetraditionalinstallmethods.

Applicationsthatdonotnativelysupportthedeploymentoperatingsystem.

Ifanoperatingsystemdoesnotsupportthenativeinstallationofanapplication,thatoperatingsystemis

notasupportedThinAppdeploymentplatformforthatapplication.

Applicationsrequiringinstallationofkernel‐modedevicedrivers.

Youmustinstallthesedevicedriversintheiroriginalformatonthehostcomputer.

Antivirusandpersonalfirewalls.

Scannerdriversandprinterdrivers.

SomeVPNclients.

ApplicationsthatprovideshellintegrationhavereducedfunctionswhentheyexistinaThinApppackage.

Setting Up Physical Windows XP System for Migration

BeforeyoumigratefromWindowsXPtoWindows7,youhavetoconfigureyourphysicalWindowsXP

systemsoitisreadyformigration.

1Decidewhereyouwanttocopyallyourdataandsettings.

Youcanuseanexternalharddiskoranetworklocation.Ifyouwanttocopyyourdataandsettingstoa

networklocation,ensurethatyouhavethenetworklocationmappedandyouhaveread‐writeaccessto

thenetworklocation.

2MakealistofallnativeapplicationsthatyouareusingonyourWindowsXPsystem.

Themigrationmovesonlydataandsettings.

3Re‐installallnativeapplicationsrunningonyourWindowsXPontheWindows7system.

Youcanchooseanyofthefollowingmethodstore‐install:

UsetheoriginalCDsorsetupfiles.

PackageyournativeapplicationsusingThinappanddeploythemonWindows7.Formore

information,seetheThinAppUser’sGuide.

UseThinappConvertertopackagemultiplenativeapplications.Formoreinformation,seethe

ThinAppUser’sGuide.

4IfyouhavedecidedtopackageyourapplicationsusingThinApp,copytheThinApppackagestothe

externalharddiskornetworklocation.

5Decideifyouwanttoinstallthe32‐bitorthe64‐bitversionofWindows7.
