ThinApp Installation Files

Omnissa ThinApp installation generates a directory which has ThinApp in its name. This directory is located in one of the subfolders within C:\Program Files on a 32-bit operating system and C:\Program Files (x86) on a 64-bit operating system.

For example: in Omnissa ThinApp 2412, ThinApp generates the Omnissa ThinApp directory at C:\Program Files\Omnissa on a 32-bit operating system and at C:\Program Files (x86)\Omnissa on a 64-bit operating system.

You might check the files in this directory to implement operations such as starting the Log Monitor utility to view recent activity.

ThinApp Directory File NameDescription
sbmerge.exe Merges runtime changes recorded in the application sandbox with the ThinApp project and updates the captured application.
Setup Capture.exeCaptures and configures applications through a wizard.
snapshot.exe Compares the preinstallation environment and postinstallation environment during the application capture process. ThinApp starts this utility during the setup capture process.
snapshot.ini Stores entries for the virtual registry and virtual file system that ThinApp ignores during the process of capturing an application. The snapshot.exe file references the snapshot.ini file. Advanced users might modify the snapshot.inifile to ensure that ThinApp does not capture certain entries when creating an application package.
template.msi Builds the MSI files. You can customize this template to ensure that the .msi files that ThinApp generates adhere to company deployment procedures and standards. For example, you can add registry settings that you want ThinApp to add to client computers during installation.

tlink.exeLinks key modules during the build process of the captured application.
