Change Default MSI Installation Directory

You can override the default MSI installation directory.

• MSI files on a physical system

  When Omnissa ThinApp installs MSI files on a physical system, the name of the default MSI installation directory contains an inventory_name followed by a suffix and this directory is located at %ProgramFilesDir%.

  For example, if you install a Firefox package, the package name is Mozilla Firefox () where the suffix name is present within the brackets and this package resides in %ProgramFilesDir%.

• MSI package for individual users

  When ThinApp installs the MSI package for individual users, the name of the default MSI installation directory contains an inventory_name followed by a suffix and this directory is located at %AppData%.

You can override the default installation directory by using an INSTALLDIR property in the msiexec command.

Procedure

• From the command line, type the msiexec /i <database>.msi

  INSTALLDIR=C:\<my_directory>\<my_package>command.
