It does have a much nicer UI but was (at the time) failing a simple test of virtualizing ActiveState's Perl. This has been fixed (or so they claim as I haven't tested again), and I even sent them the thinstall project that they were to convert into their format, but that was a few weeks ago and haven't read from them since.<BR/><BR/>My biggest hope is that meanwhile VMWare decides to price a "personal use" version of Northstar in the 0-100 USD range... Free for Personal use as other products would be just great, but a low price for a professional single user or <10 users or such would also not hurt as well...<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, the more I try other products, the more I understand why VMWare picked that one to buy! It may be a bit rough, but gets the job done and is probably the only TRUE way to virtualize an application with no engines nor "unpackaging" to be done... Just run the generated .EXE and be up and running your virtual app in seconds with no fuss!Fernando Madrugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296473246062338124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040327036497268290.post-75349367320571376082008-04-17T15:32:00.000+00:002008-04-17T15:32:00.000+00:00Another one to try (if you need another one) is ww...Another one to try (if you need another one) is <A HREF="http://www.xenocode.com/" REL="nofollow">www.xenocode.com</A>. It looks like they charge $499, but there may be some end user license restrictions that complicates things. I played with a much earlier version, which was pretty cool. They appear to have come a long way.<BR/><BR/>It would be great if once you are done a legal way to share your work could be found.
