Overview

These trial guides provide step by step directions for experiencing application virtualization. Two different types of trial guides are available based upon the aspects of Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 you would like to review:

• The standalone trial guide will walk you through the creation of a virtualized application and execution of the application on the client without the need to setup any infrastructure. This is the simplest trial of Microsoft Application Virtualization.

• The full trial guide walks the user through the same application virtualization capabilities as the standalone guide; however it also includes the steps to setup the publishing and streaming infrastructure options as well.

Once you have completed the setup steps from either guide, you will be able to test the benefits of Microsoft Application Virtualization in your own environment.
