Figure 10-47: Add AppLink Reference Dialog Box
In the ThinApp Reference box, enter the relative (runtime) path to the existing ThinApp application that you want
to link to. For more information on how to specify a ThinApp Reference, see the following:

• Required vs. Optional
• Examples of AppLink References
Enter a Relative Path
On the Add AppLink Reference dialog box, if you click Browse and browse for a ThinApp application, the
absolute path to that application is entered, such as
main ThinApp application needs that linked application to be found at the specified absolute path location at
runtime, which is unlikely. Therefore, it is recommended that you enter a relative path name.
Path Name Format
AppLink supports both URL and UNC path names.
Which ThinApp File Should Be Specified in an AppLink Reference?
If a ThinApp application has only one shortcut, it consists of a single executable. Therefore, you would obviously
specify that executable file when creating an AppLink Reference.
However, when a ThinApp application has more than one shortcut, the ThinApp file that you specify in an AppLink
Reference depends upon what tool you used to build the ThinApp application:
