Application virtualization with xenocode

July 14, 2008

Application is the future of virtualization. Xenocode allows you to package up an application and deploy it in a virtaul exe to run anywhere, (anywhere on windows). I came across it when I wanted to create a portable application using the ,net framework. Xenocode is amazing. It allowed me to package up a winform application written in C# to produce a stand alone exe that could run on any windows box even without the .net framework installed. I have not tried it under wine/linux but it is on my todo list.

While we have yet to use it in a project think how easy a deployment process will be when have xcopy deployment without any need for a framework to be installed on the destination machine.

So for all you .net coders out there start pumping out the usb portable apps with visual studio.
