Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) is a new way to use software. By placing applications and data into managed units called Virtual Software Packages (VSP's), SVS allows you to instantly activate, deactivate, or reset applications, to completely avoid conflicts between applications, and to remove them cleanly without altering the base Windows installation. Say goodbye to 'DLL Hell' and 'Registry Rot'. Getting apps and data into VSP's is simple with an included tool. This version is the same as the regular commercial product shipped by Altiris, minus the server-side components for centralized management.
Version 2.1.2084 contains the following and is recommended for all SVS customers: Workaround for a Windows registry defect that could result in a BSOD when certain reg functions are called , Fix for an IIS compatibility issue, Fixes for memory leaks that could result in impaired system performance over time.

"Great tool for traceless uninstall of any software"
Version: Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) 2.1.2084
Pros
I use it on Windows XP, and is much faster than the new Symantec Workspace Virtualization (SWV) tool! Use this lic. code for free personal use (free): b6c5a-wiy8u-e89de-c3cv4
Cons
Simpler and not so feature-rich GUI than that of SWV.
Summary
Don't forget to set global excludes (Edit - Edit Global Excludes) for your data drives/directories (and subdirs!), otherwise you get pretty strange behaviour - files or file modifications disappearing, etc.

"Great tool if you like to repackage manually"
Version: Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) 2.1.2084
Pros
I don't have much need for app virtualization which I can't satisfy more easily with BufferZone or SandboxIE. I just like to use SVS to monitor installers so I can repackage them from scratch. I've used WinInstall, Prism, MS SMS, and various other monitoring tools which are designed for repackaging, but they all assume that I want to start with their auto-generated packages and modify. I prefer to start with an empty package and add everything so I know exactly what's happening and I don't overlook anything suspicious or unnecessary. Those repackagers don't provide the kind of visibility I need for doing this. With SVS, it's easy to inspect captured layers.
Cons
Many people have a problem with the spartan GUI which comes with SVS, and there are several community-developered front-ends which address this, but I'm not so much bothered by the simplicity of the GUI as much as I am by the clumsiness of what's there. Menus and labels are just awkwardly worded and named. For a new or infrequent user, it's far too easy to come away with the conclusion that the product just doesn't work.
