Store the Sandbox in a Thinstall Directory on a USB Drive at the Same Level as the Executable File

The sandbox in a Thinstall directory that is located on a USB drive must be stored at the same level at which the executable file is stored.

Prerequisites

If the %THINSTALL_SANDBOX_DIR% or %<sandbox_name>_SANDBOX_DIR% environment variables are set, unset the variables.

Procedure

1. On the portable device, create a Thinstall directory in the same directory as your captured application.

   The next time the packaged application starts from the portable device, the application creates a sandbox in the Thinstall directory.

2. (Optional) If the application and sandbox originally ran from another location, such as a computer, and you need the same sandbox on a portable device, copy the Thinstall directory from %AppData% to the directory where the executable file resides on the device.

   ThinApp no longer uses the sandbox in the original location.
