ThinApp Factory is a virtual appliance which can be used to automate the packaging of legacy Windows applications with VMware ThinApp.
The virtual appliance is a Debian Linux vApp which can be installed on VMware vSphere 4.1 or higher or VMware Workstation 8.x and higher. It has a TomCat web based interface and built into it is an enhanced ThinApp package editor and basic web based store for users to install their own applications.
It can pull from manually uploaded installers, regular file share repositories (something very common amongst IT shops), as well as RSS-style app-installer feeds using the JSON format.
