I got excited when I saw the Windows installation instructions link, but that is just how to setup Vagrant with VirtualBox to host a Linux machine.

Is there any open-source equivalent to things like Citrix's XenApp, VMWare's ThinApp, Microsoft's App-V, or independent tools like Sandboxie? http://alternativeto.net/software/sandboxie/



We've been experimenting with Ulteo (http://ulteo.com/home/) as a possible alternative to XenApp.


Sorry, but for now it's the only way to install it on Windows. Thanks for asking j_s.


But why Vagrant? It's an unnecessary dependency that requires installation of more stuff I don't use. Why not distribute a pre-built VBox image and torrent it?


ThinApp, App-V, etc. are pretty much equivalent to a chroot jail on unix.
