Building ThinApp Applications Using the Command Line

When you configure a ThinApp application in an InstallShield project and then build that project (using either the
user interface or the command line), both the Windows Installer package and the ThinApp application are built.
When you use the standard InstallShield command line build, you do not need to add any additional command line
parameters. All of the ThinApp application settings are saved within the InstallShield project.

ThinApp Application Conversion Error and Warning Messages

For troubleshooting information about resolving errors and warnings that you may encounter when you are
building a virtual application, see Virtualization Conversion Errors and Warnings.

Application Features Requiring Pre- or Post-Conversion Actions

Some application features are ignored when creating a ThinApp application. Therefore, some additional pre- or
post-conversion actions must be taken in order for the ThinApp application to be created properly.
One action you could take to try to include ignored features in an ThinApp application is to first repackage the
application using the Repackaging Wizard, and then convert the repackaged application to a ThinApp application.
For a list of ignored features, see

ThinApp Not Found

To create a ThinApp application, you are required to have both AdminStudio and ThinApp installed on the same
machine. If a user attempts to create a ThinApp application without this ThinApp component, a message is
displayed and the build is unsuccessful.
To purchase the ThinApp, visit the VMware Web site:
