Use Scenario
Write Copy
You would use
Write Copy
isolation when:
•
Application was not designed or tested for multi-user environments and expects it can
modify files and keys without impacting other users.
•
Application expects write permission to Global locations and was not designed for
locked-down desktop environments found in corporate environments or Windows Vista.
With
Write Copy
isolation, ThinApp makes copies of registry keys and files written by the
application and performs all of the modifications in a user-specific sandbox. With this type of
isolation, the ThinApp applications believe that they have global write permissions, while they
really only modify the sandbox directory.
Merged
You would use
Merged
isolation when the ThinApp application needs write access to user-
specific storage areas, like the Desktop and My Documents.
Full
You would use
Full
isolation when a ThinApp application needs to run on a machine where
earlier or later versions of the same application are either installed or were not uninstalled
correctly.
For directories and registry keys that have
Full
isolation, the ThinApp application will not be
aware of any host computer file that might exist, and it sees only virtual files and registry keys
at fully isolated locations.
