Figure 9 - Build Now screen You can rebuild the project if you need to make changes at any time after clicking Finish by using the build.bat file in the project directory if you need to make changes. Modifying Isolation Modes VMware ThinApp provides the Merged and WriteCopy isolation mode choices in the Setup Capture wizard. You can use a third isolation mode, Full, outside the wizard in the ThinApp project text files. The Full isolation mode secures the virtualized application by blocking visibility to system elements outside the virtual application package. This mode restricts generated data to the sandbox and ensures that no interaction exists with the environment outside the virtual application package. ThinApp caches the isolation modes for the registry and the file system at runtime in the sandbox. If you change the isolation mode for the project and rebuild the executable file, you might need to delete the sandbox for the change to take effect. Modifying Settings in the Package.ini File The Package.ini file contains configuration settings and resides in the captured application folder. For example, a Mozilla Firefox path might be C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\Captures\Mozilla Firefox\Package.ini. The following parameters are examples of settings that you might modify:  DirectoryIsolationMode - Sets the isolation mode to Merged, WriteCopy, or Full. 19

Finish
by
using the build.bat file in the project directory if you need to make changes.
Modifying Isolation Modes
VMware ThinApp provides the Merged and WriteCopy isolation mode choices in the Setup
Capture wizard.
You can use a third isolation mode, Full, outside the wizard in the ThinApp project
text files. The Full isolation mode secures the virtualized application by blocking visibility to system
elements outside the virtual application
package
. This mode restricts generated data to the
sandbox and ensures that no interaction exists with the environment outside the virtual
application
package
.
ThinApp caches the isolation modes for the registry and the file system at runtime in the sandbox.
If you change the isolation mode for the project and rebuild the executable file, you might need to
delete the sandbox for the change to take effect.
Modifying Settings in the Package.ini File
The
Package.ini
file contains configuration settings and resides in the captured application folder.
For example, a Mozilla Firefox path might be
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware
ThinApp\Captures\Mozilla Firefox\Package.ini
.
The following parameters are examples of settings that you might modify:
DirectoryIsolationMode
– Sets the isolation mode to Merged, WriteCopy, or Full.
