correctly the "Virtual Applications" do _not_ require VMware
though they obviously can use it. IMHO the name "Virtual
Application" is a bit misleading.

From your own message which started this thread:

A virtual appliance is a fully pre-installed and pre-configured
application and operating system environment that runs on
any standard x86 desktop or server in a self-contained,
isolated environment known as a virtual machine. Virtual
appliances provide an evolutionary step in the software
distribution model.

Note, VMware calls these "Virtual Appliances", not "Virtual Applications", and they are very much indeed intended to run inside a VMware Player or VMware Server instance.

Just to clear up any confusion. :)
