VMware THINAPP 4.6 Manual page 33

If the Password setting is not used, the password for the guest is assumed to be blank. Most Windows virtual
machines do not support automation with empty passwords, so you should specify a guest password.
PasswordPrompt
Specifies that the user be prompted to enter a password.
If you do not want to store the virtual machine password in the configuration file, specify the value as true.
When set to true, a prompt always appears, even if a password is specified in the configuration file.
Examples
Following is an example for an ESX server‐based environment. A password has been specified and, as
PasswordPrompt is set to false, the user will not be prompted to enter a password.
[VirtualMachine1]
VmxPath=[Storage] WinXP_Converter/WinXP_Converter.vmx
UserName=administrator
Password=secret
PasswordPrompt=false
Following is an example for a VMware Workstation‐based virtual machine. On virtual machine 1,
PasswordPrompt has been set to true. The user will be prompted for a password even though a password has
been specified in the configuration.
[VirtualMachine1]
VmxPath=C:\MyVMs\Windows XP\Windows XP.vmx
UserName=administrator
Password=secret
PasswordPrompt=true
[VirtualMachine2]
VmxPath=C:\MyVMs\Windows 7\Windows 7.vmx
UserName=adminuser@mydomain.com
Password=
PasswordPrompt=true
N Do not place the path in quotation marks, even if the path contains a space.

Settings
The Settings section of the configuration file contains the parameters for the application installation directory
and ThinApp project output directory, in the form of UNC. It also contains several parameters controlling the
conversion process behavior.
ThinApp Converter only requires read‐only permissions for the network share that contains the application
installers. It requires read/write permissions for the network share that contains the ThinApp projects.
If input and output directories are on the same file server, you must use the same user account to connect them.
InputUncPath
Specify the network share UNC path for the application installers. For example: \\fileserver\sharename,
or \\fileserver\sharename\dirname.
InputMountUserName
Specify the user name used for connecting to that network share. UPN format can be used when you specify
a domain user, for example user@domain.com
InputMountPassword or InputMountPasswordBase64
Specify the password for connecting to the network share. 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.
