This utility performs a pre-scan of the VM, which documents the VM's contents (system files, registry entries and more) before you install the application you want to virtualize. If you create the snapshot while the VM is running, then you don't need to capture the memory within the snapshot.Īfter you create the snapshot, you will need to log into the VM and run the ThinApp Setup Capture utility.
