What you need for this book

If you want to perform the examples I use throughout this book yourself, you will need a couple of applications. You will need the following:

  • VMware ThinApp

You can download a free trial of VMware ThinApp from here: http://www.vmware.com/go/trythinapp.

  • VMware Workstation

You can download a free trial from: http://www.vmware.com/go/tryworkstation.

  • One Microsoft Windows XP and one Windows 7 virtual machine.
  • Installation media for the different applications that you want to package. I use Mozilla Firefox for most of my examples. I personally prefer the old Mozilla Firefox versions. You can download the old versions from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
