Manually Run the thinreg.exe Utility

If you did not create an MSI package during the SetUp Capture process, you can manually run the thinreg.exe utility on the application executable file.

The package name in the thinreg.exe commands can have the following syntax:

• Absolute path

  C:\<absolute_path_to_.exe>

• Relative path

  .exefile

• UNC path

  \\<server>\<share>\<path_to_.exe>

• Wildcard specification

  *.exe

• Path or filename containing spaces

  thinreg.exe "\\DEPLOYSERVER\ThinApps\Microsoft Office Word 2007.exe"

Prerequisites

Determine the application executable files that ThinApp must register with the local environment.

Procedure

1. From the command line, type the thinreg.exe command.

   thinreg.exe [<optional_parameters>] [<package1.exe>][<package2.exe>][<packages_by_wildcard>]

2. (Optional) If the server name is DEPLOYSERVER and the share is ThinApps, use the following example to register Microsoft Word for the user who is logged in.

   ThinReg.exe "\\DEPLOYSERVER\ThinApps\Microsoft Office 2007 Word.exe"

3. (Optional) Use the following example to register all Microsoft Office applications in the specified directory for the user who is logged in.
