One of the major advantages SoftGrid has over some other virtualization technologies is the ability to deploy applications based on user or group membership. Sure, if you’ve ever had to deploy applications the old fashioned way then you already know how important this is, but what if you have a scenario in which you’d like to deploy an application to all users on a machine anyway? Back in the day this could be difficult but now it’s easy with the MSI utility. That’s because a virtualized application that’s been packaged using the tool can be distributed to any machine and made available to any user who logs in.
The MSI Utility for Microsoft Application Virtualization is a new tool designed to extend virtual application deployment in certain key scenarios. In cases where a computer running Microsoft System Center Virtual Application Server is not available, the MSI Utility allows delivery of sequenced applications directly to Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization for Desktops and Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization for Terminal Services.
