6Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 8.0.3 Integration and Streaming Guide

Overview

Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization lets you convert applications that run on Microsoft

Windows into self-contained virtual applications. After being virtualized, an application becomes a

single, isolated file that runs instantly from anywhere, including a thumb drive or other removable

media. Unlike traditional installation methods, the single virtual application file does not require a

separate setup process, and does not rely on external components and runtimes, reboots, or

administrative privileges. The application is now isolated from other system applications,

preventing DLL conflicts and other deployment nightmares, yet the experience for the application’s

user is unchanged.

ZENworks Application Virtualization lets you use the Configuration Wizard to prepare Novell

GroupWise, GroupWise Messenger, and Novell OpenOffice for virtualization.

To virtualize GroupWise, GroupWise Messenger, and Novell OpenOffice, you have the following

options:

Use the options in the Configuration Wizard to virtualize these applications. This process is

recommended for first time users.

For more information, see Section 1.1, “Using the Configuration Wizard to Prepare

Applications for Virtualization,” on page 7.

Configure these applications manually.

This guide provides step-by-step information to help you use Novell ZENworks Application

Virtualization to create virtual executable files to run Novell GroupWise, GroupWise Notify,

GroupWise Messenger, and Novell OpenOffice.

You can use the information in this guide to customize the virtualized files or you can use the

information to better understand the virtualization process. For more information, see

Section 1.2, “Manually Preparing Applications for Virtualization,” on page 9.

If you use Novell ZENworks Configuration Management in your environment, you can

configure your virtual application so that it checks to ensure that the ZENworks Adaptive

Agent is installed on the device and that the device is registered to your ZENworks

Management Zone before the application can be launched. You can also Use ZENworks

Application Virtualization to publish ZENworks bundles that you can distribute using

ZENworks Configuration Management. For more information, see Appendix 5, “Using Virtual

Applications with ZENworks Configuration Management,” on page 23.

1.1 Using the Configuration Wizard to Prepare

Applications for Virtualization

ZENworks Application Virtualization includes a Configuration Wizard that helps you prepare the

following common applications for virtualization:

7-Zip: An open-source utility used to manipulate archives.

Apple Safari: An application used to browse the Internet.

Adobe Reader: An application used to view and print PDF files.

8Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 8.0.3 Integration and Streaming Guide

Citrix ICA Demo: Lets you create a virtualized version of the Citrix xenapp client for

executing applications published by Citrix xenapp.

GIMP: GNU Image Manipulation Program. An open-source application used to process

digital graphics and photographs.

Google Talk: An application used for instant messaging and PC-to-PC voice calls.

Microsoft Internet Explorer: An application used to browse the Internet.

Microsoft Office: A suite of office-productivity applications.

Microsoft Project: An application used to manage projects.

Microsoft Visio: An application used to create diagrams.

Mozilla Firefox: An open-source application used to browse the Internet.

Novell GroupWise Client: A collaboration software solution used to provide information

workers with e-mail, calendaring, instant messaging, task management, and contact and

document management functions.

Novell GroupWise Messenger: A corporate, cross-platform instant messaging application

used to send instant messages in a secure environment and to create contact lists.

Novell OpenOffice: A suite of office-productivity applications, including a word processor,

presentation and spreadsheet applications, an HTML editor, and a drawing tool. Novell

OpenOffice contains enhancements and bug fixes that are not available in the standard edition.

OpenOffice: A suite of office-productivity applications, including a word processor,

presentation and spreadsheet applications, an HTML editor, and a drawing tool.

Opera: An application used to browse the Internet.

To use the Configuration Wizard to virtualize GroupWise, GroupWise Messenger, or Novell

OpenOffice:

1Click Start > All Programs > Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 8.0.3 > Novell

ZENworks Application Virtualization 8.0.3 to start the application.

Overview 9

2Click the Configuration Wizard button in the Tools section of the Virtual Application ribbon.

3Click Build a virtual application from a template.

4Select the desired application from the Application drop-down list.

5Click Next, then follow the instructions in the wizard.

1.2 Manually Preparing Applications for

Virtualization

Most commercial applications, including GroupWise and Novell OpenOffice, require complex

combinations of file system and registry entries to function properly. To facilitate virtualization of

these applications, ZENworks Application Virtualization creates snapshot application installations

and automatically configures itself based on modifications made to the host system during

application setup.

Snapshotting uses images of the host machine that are taken at different points in time to determine

the virtual application configuration.

10 Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 8.0.3 Integration and Streaming Guide

Prior to installing the application to be virtualized, a snapshot is taken that captures the state of the

host device without the target application installed. After installing the application, a second

snapshot is taken that captures all changes to the host device. ZENworks Application Virtualization

then computes the changes, or delta, between the snapshots, and inserts these changes into the

configuration.

You can use the configuration information to create executable files that behave differently,

depending on the application you are preparing to use:

A Single Executable File to Launch an Application: To prepare GroupWise Messenger, you

can create a single executable file to launch the program. For more information, see Chapter 2,

“Preparing GroupWise Messenger for Virtualization,” on page 11.

To prepare Novell OpenOffice, you have the option to create a single executable file to launch

the OpenOffice.org Quickstarter, which lets users choose the program to launch (Writer, Calc,

Draw, Impress, or Math). For more information, see Chapter 4, “Preparing Novell OpenOffice

for Virtualization,” on page 19.

A Single Executable File to Simultaneously Launch Multiple Applications: To prepare

GroupWise and Notify, you can create a single executable file to launch both programs

simultaneously. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Preparing GroupWise and GroupWise

Notify for Virtualization,” on page 15.

A Single Executable File to Expose Multiple Executable Startup Files: To prepare Novell

OpenOffice, you can create a single executable file to expose multiple executable startup files

(Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress, or Math). ZENworks Application Virtualization allows multiple

entry points into the virtual application to be triggered based on a command line argument to

the virtual application executable. If you use Novell ZENworks Desktop Management or

ZENworks Configuration Management to distribute applications, command line arguments let

you use the same application object for all OpenOffice.org programs. For more information,

see Chapter 4, “Preparing Novell OpenOffice for Virtualization,” on page 19.
