I have created a couple archived applications (.xpf files). and can run them happily on a machine. My question is... do I need to copy the .xpf file to that machine or can I have the xpf file sit on a network share and tell all of my clients (about 300 or so) to access the application from there? Thus having only 1 xpf file for say Google Chrome that all my machines point to.

Along the same

Along the same lines.

regarding space taken up on the hard drive. What is the best way to reduce space? I understand that the application actually resides in c:\fslrdr and the items under Program Data is just a pointer. Is it possible to have many machines pointing to a network share where a common fslrdr sits?

 

I ask because the other app virtualizer we are looking at is ThinApp and they can have their program files sit elsewhere and share it amongst many virtuals. THis allows them to alot a much smaller hard drive to each virtual becuse the apps take up very little space on them.

1) for import yes, though

1) for import yes, though this can slow down based off the network speed.

2) Not at this time but a future version will.
