About how Unix Tools works

Traditional installation programs must create directories, decompress program files, register ActiveX controls, install system DLLs, and set global environment variables. Each of these dependencies represents a possible point of failure, not just during install, but later after other applications are installed and uninstalled.

Thinstall
is a revolutionary new archive technology that allows application suites to run in the packaged form with no install or uninstall process. Thinstall makes a virtual file system visible to the packaged program allowing it to load and run directly from the compressed package . The application's read requests are redirected so decompression from the package occurs on-the-fly directly into memory as needed. Programs can use DLLs , ActiveX controls, and even run bundled EXE files directly from the package without ever extracting them to disk. Thinstall often speeds up application, DLL, and file loading by reducing disk seeks and reads.
