ThinApp User's Guide
HostLoginPasswordPrompt
Specifies that the user be prompted to enter a password.
If you do not want to store the vSphere Server password in the configuration file, specify the value as true.
When set to true, a prompt always appears, even if a HostLoginPassword is specified in the configuration file.
Example
The following example shows a typical host environment specification. The virtual machine name is specified
as the ESX server hostname. A password has been specified, however the user will still be prompted to enter
as password, as specified in HostLoginPasswordPrompt.
[HostEnvironment]
VirtualMachineHost=MyEsx.vmawre.com
HostLoginUserName=root
HostLoginPassword=secret
HostLoginPasswordPrompt=true
VirtualMachineN
The VirtualMachineN section of the configuration file contains a list of the Windows‐based virtual machines
that will be utilized in the conversion process.
Create a VirtualMachineX section for each virtual machine that you want to include, and specify their
parameters. X is 1, and subsequent virtual machine sections are numbered sequentially.
[VirtualMachine
VmxPath
Specify the configuration path of the virtual machine.
For ESX Server or vCenter Server, you can identify the virtual machine configuration file path using the
vSphere Client.
Identify the virtual machine configuration path using the vSphere Client
1 Right‐click the virtual machine and select Edit Settings.
2 Click the Options tab, and copy the string from the Virtual Machine Configuration File field.
3 Use this string as the virtual machine configuration file path.
For Workstation, specify the entire file path on the host on which the VMX configuration file resides. For
example, C:\MyVMs\Windows XP\Windows XP.vmx. Do not place the path in quotation marks, even if the path
contains a space.
UserName
A valid user name for the virtual machine guest operating system. The user must have administrator
privileges for the virtual machine guest operating system.
You can use UPN format when you specify a user name. For example, user@domain.com.
Password or PasswordBase64
A valid password for the virtual machine guest operating system. You have the following options when you
specify passwords:

You can enter clear text.

You can specify a base64 encoded password for the PasswordBase64 parameter.
Specifying an encoded password does not increase security strength. You need to protect the actual INI
file.
All passwords are handled in the same way.
